Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering added in FED comes most probably from Chopin.

cresc. in FED

The change of the  sign, written in A, to cresc. appearing in GE (→FE→EE) seems to be Chopin's correction. However, it cannot be excluded that the change was performed arbitrarily by the engraver of GE1, seeing that there is no place for such a long sign – over the notes it is the  sign from the last bar that is an obstacle and between the staves it is the number 18, the slur and the  in the part of the L.H. What is more, cresc. printed in FED was deleted and written closer to the end of the bar, which can be considered a confirmation of the inauthenticity of the change performed in GE1. However, due to the lack of conclusive arguments against the authenticity of the changes performed in the sources with a confirmed participation of Chopin – GE1 and FED – we consider all three source versions to be authentic and in the main text we give the latest, i.e. FED.

In A (→GE→FE) there is no  raising d2 to d2. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in EE, adding also a cautionary  before c2.

Slur under sextuplet in A

Phrase mark in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The slur under the sextuplet, visible in A, was replaced with a phrase mark of a greater range in GE (→FE→EE) (the inaccurately engraved ending of this slur was corrected both in FE and GE2). The visible traces of corrections show that initially the slur started already from the d2 quaver. The last correction was certainly performed by Chopin; it cannot be excluded that the very addition of the slur was inspired by him.

cresc. - - in A

No indication in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The missing cresc. - - is certainly a mistake of GE (→FE→EE), perhaps caused by sempre più stretto having been placed between the staves, hence in a place where cresc. should be.
