The version of FE (→EE1) with c2 in the ending of the trill is most probably erroneous. It is indicated by visible traces of removal of a  before this note in FE and GE – c2 does not require any sign in this case, hence the  was most probably printed by mistake, instead of , natural in this context. In this situation, removal of this sign in FE may be considered a result of either ordering of the notation of accidentals by the reviser or of Chopin's incompletely implemented proofreading, aiming at restoring . Therefore, in the main text we give the version of GE, in which the  was replaced with a , perhaps by the composer himself. A double sharp was added also in EE2 (→EE3).

We place the semiquaver ending the bar over the last note of the triplet of the accompaniment, in accordance with the rule to which Chopin adhered his entire life. In FE (→GE→EE), the semiquaver is placed after the 3rd note of the triplet, most probably due to the unfamiliarity with the Chopinesque habit – the Bolero is the first (and only) piece by Chopin issued by this French publisher. Similarly, in bar 163.

We adopt a Chopinesque fingering written in pencil in FES to the main text. The last two digits are also in FEO.
