The notation of the sources in which the trill on f2(3) is doubled in the notation of the tremolando resulted from the addition of the same notation as in analogous bars 329-332 in the proofreading of FE. The change was most probably aimed at specifying the manner both elements of that figure are to be combined, particularly which note of the trill – upper or main – is to be played first. However, the final result of that proofreading was not fully controlled by Chopin, which is proven by a few manifest errors (see the adjacent note). It is also likely that Chopin was influenced by, e.g. the publisher, since in the Concerto in F Minor, written first yet published three years later (1st mov., bars 179-180 and 335-336), he preserved his original, ingenious and efficient notation. Due to the above reasons, in the main text we give the original notation, analogous to exposition.

c2 in orchestra part in FE (→EE)

c2 with  suggested by the editors

The version of GE, in which c2 is printed in normal font and thus included to the solo part, must be erroneous. Such mistakes in assigning particular notes to one or the other part would occur in a few places in Chopin's Concertos, e.g. in bar 486, as well as in the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, 3rd mov., bars 30-32.
