In FES Chopin wrote a simplified reduction of the recitative's orchestral accompaniment, which can be used while performing this movement solo. The accompaniment is to be played with the L.H. instead of the original part and in few places also the part of the R.H. was completed. In bars 45-47 the notation is most probably inaccurate – the applied abbreviation, when interpreted literally, orders striking the bass in the bottom octave (A After choosing the version with the harmonic accompaniment, it may be necessary to select relevant versions also in bars 45 (pedal), 46 (staccato dots), 47-48 (slurs), 51 (slurs) and 52 (slurs and staccato signs). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FES , Authentic post-publication changes and variants |

The sign of pedal release, written in A (→GE1) contrary to the rules of harmonic pedalling, generally used by Chopin, may be inaccurate. Therefore, in the main text we give the sign on the basis of FE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

In the entire fragment of the recitative nature, Chopin generally writes articulation markings separately for each hand. The missing staccato dots in the L.H. at the end of the bar is one of the exceptions, probably resulting from inaccuracy. In the editions the dots were overlooked in the R.H. too, which could have been a consequence of Chopin's proofreading. Taking into account a possibility of the engraver's mistake, in the main text we adhere to the version of A, adding dots also in the L.H. If in bar 45 the version with the harmonic accompaniment was chosen, one of two first source versions is to be selected here. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

In GE (→FE) staccato dots were placed also over the first two semiquavers in the L.H., which is a patent mistake. In EE and GE2 dots were added also in the R.H., certainly contrary to Chopin's intention: it is difficult to imagine that Chopin could have overlooked the dots twice (in the R.H. and in the L.H.). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE |
