Small notes in A & GE2

Regular notes in GE1 (→FEEE)

Small notes suggested by the editors

The simplified notation of A, in which the dyads of the orchestral accompaniment of the solo part are separated only by a smaller font, confused the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE), who, not having noticed the difference in the size of the notes, engraved entire chords in a normal font. In FE in bars 374-376, not only did Chopin correct this mistake, but he also differentiate between the solo part and the accompaniment in a clearer manner. We employ the latter, being the latest and constituting a significant improvement, also here. A text of the solo part compliant with Chopin's intention appeared in print for the first time in the National Edition.
