In FE (→GE1), the last 8 notes are written as 2 groups of semiquavers. The division into groups suggests that Chopin meant a strict and regular division, so the notes should be demisemiquavers. A respective change was introduced in EE and GE2 (→GE3). Additional beams were added also in FEJ, although it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of such a non-characteristic entry. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Annotations in FEJ , Errors repeated in GE |

The dot extending the e crotchet is not a part of the solo part and is to be applied only when performing the Concerto without accompaniment. category imprint: Source & stylistic information |

The rhythm of the 1st beat of the bar, written in FE with a mistake, allows for two natural ways of correcting it – changing semiquavers to demisemiquavers, which was performed in GE, or shortening the first note, like it was corrected in FED. We consider the latter to be more likely, corresponding to the alignment of the notes with respect to the quavers in the L.H. and confirmed by the authority of FED. Apart from the correction of the rhythmic error, the entry in FED changes also the pitch of the 2nd and 3rd notes from b1-a1 to a1-g1. This can be regarded as an alternative version to the printed text (variant); however, according to us, it is also a correction of a mistake. We can only guess how the version of EE came into being; however, nothing proves that it could correspond to Chopin's final intention. In the main text, we give the version of FED, corrected during a lesson with Chopin both rhythmically and melodically. The version is compliant with the unquestionable version of analogous bar 517. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Annotations in FED , GE revisions , Rhythmic errors |

In the main text, we suggest holding the bass note, like it was marked by Chopin in analogous bar 518. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
