In FE, the 1st quaver in the R.H. is written an octave lower, which resulted from the erroneously ended octave sign (it ends too early) used to write the entire phrase in bars 413-414. This patent mistake was corrected both in GE and EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions |

FEH includes a two-stage entry, which first added a raising e1 to e1, and then corrected that erroneous improvement. category imprint: Source & stylistic information |

The version of GE2 (→GE3) was probably introduced to avoid dissonance with the C-c bass octave. It was most probably a comparison with similar bars 418, 410, 422 and analog., in which there are fourths, making up consonant triads with the L.H., that confirmed the conviction of the reviser of GE2 that the change is right. The fact that the text of FE (→GE1,EE) is error-free is confirmed by combining it with the orchestral part, in which e1-b1 in the piano corresponds with b1 in the accompanying part of violin I. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The authenticity of the very entry in FEH is unconfirmed, but the indicated fingering is almost certainly Chopinesque. It is evidenced by the entry in FED in an analogous situation in bar 418, and the same fingering of the 2nd and 3rd beat written into FEFo. The fingering 321 for the repeated notes was also inscribed by Chopin in Waltz in E op. 18 (the initial motif and bar 21). The fingering of the four-note groups of semiquavers is compliant with the distinction of the inner voice indicated by Chopin in each of them. In the editors opinion, it is articulation and actually fingering that were an important, if not the most important, reason to apply this notation, which is indicated by the probably original form of these figures preserved, e.g. in bar 419. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FEH , Annotations in FEFo |

All three sets of numerals describe the same, undoubtedly Chopinesque fingering. Chopin indicated the intervals of an octave to be performed with fingers 1-5 and 5-1 in similar figures also in other pieces – cf. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, 1st mov., bars 101-103 or the Polonaise-Fantaisie, op. 61, bars 88-89. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FEH , Annotations in FEFo |
