The sense and authenticity of this sign in FED is doubtless, yet due to the much more powerful and longer-sounding bass register of contemporary pianos this variant may only be used with utmost caution. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Bass register changes , Abbreviated octaves' notation |

In the three teaching copies, the bass notes in bar 59 were doubled with lower octaves. In FES the octave progression is consistently brought to the beginning of bar 60. In our opinion this means that Chopin considered the version with the octaves at least equivalent to the version of A (→GE→FE→EE), in which single notes appear. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Annotations in FES , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Annotations in FEJ , Bass register changes , Abbreviated octaves' notation |
