The demisemiquaver passage in FE (→GE1) is devoid of the accidentals present before the 1st chord (not counting the octave sign) – the naturals of a1 and a2 and the  of f2. A comparison with the notation of the two previous bars, in which the  of e2 is present in the passage, shows that possible rules of validity of accidentals were approached in a very flexible manner in such situations. In the remaining editions the notation was partially completed – EE added a  of f2, while GE2 (→GE3) a  of a2. See also b. 156.

One can have doubts whether holding pedal as long as to the last quaver in b. 170 and 172, like in FE, actually corresponds to Chopin's intention. The effect of the dominant and tonic chords temporarily overlapping could have been intentional; however, according to us, taking into account the pedalling markings of analogous b. 64 and 66, which are shorter and compliant with the harmonic course, one can assume that the markings in the discussed bars may be inaccurate. Due to this reason, in the main text we move the  marks under the 5th quaver.
