In the main text we preserve the cautionary (?) , present in all sources, before a1 as a proof of the Chopin way of thinking. However, the reason for its introduction is unclear – Chopin may have simply followed an analogy with bars 230 and 236, in which the corresponding semiquaver is a g1, always written with a . category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Cautionary accidentals |

All sources have a before e2, a sign that we omit in the main text as an unjustified cautionary accidental in this context. Perhaps Chopin felt the need to mark the difference with respect to the previous half-bar figure, in which there is a d2 in this place – it would be another argument confirming the fact that the absence of before this d2 in A (→GE) is an oversight. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Cautionary accidentals |

There are no accidentals in the last group of semiquavers in the L.H. in A. In GE (→FE→EE) the signs were added after the R.H. An authentic cautionary before a2, in the editions added also before a1, draws attention. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Inaccuracies in A |

The sources feature a rather unnecessary before e2 in the 2nd half of the bar. In the main text we add a before e3 – it is not absolutely necessary in the sources due to the use of an octave sign at the beginning of the bar and a different layout. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Omissions to cancel alteration , Cautionary accidentals , Inaccuracies in A |

In the main text we omit the present in A (→GE1→FE→EE) before the 1st note in the 2nd half of the bar. The unnecessarily repeated sign was removed in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals |
