Taking into account a high likelihood of authenticity of other entries in FEH in this fragment, cf. bar 57, 58, 59 and 61, we consider this entry to be most likely authentic and include it in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Annotations in FEH |

We reproduce the insertion in FEH in its literal form, interpreting the antepenultimate note as a harmonically justified a2, and not b2. It is unclear whether the added passage was meant to complete the arpeggiated chord or to replace it; we consider the first possibility to be more likely. According to us, one also cannot rule out that this entry is a kind of an abbreviation – it defines a model that is to be developed into a longer figuration. We suggest a possible addition based on this assumption as an alternative interpretation of the entry. At the same time, in the descending part of the passage, we use the idea included in a variant in FES, left without placement, which is clearly similar in terms of rhythm, interval structure and hand position. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Accidentals in different octaves , Annotations in FES , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Annotations in FEH |

The authenticity of the variant written in FEH seems to be highly likely (like in the case of the remaining variants in this movement of the Concerto – see e.g. bar 29 or 57). It is noteworthy that this version, although it does not strictly correspond to the orchestral part, results in a smoother combination of bars 63-64 when performed on one piano. According to us, such a subtle and dexterous consideration of the specific nature of the one-piano version's sound clearly points to Chopin being the author of this variant. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Annotations in FEH |

In FE, there are no rests in the original notation of this bar, as a result of which it is not entirely clear which hand is supposed to perform the orchestral part on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the indication assigning these crotchets to the left hand, which may have come from Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The fingering in FEH naturally complements the indication in FES, whose authenticity is unquestionable, hence we include it in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEH |
lowering c
3 to c3 – such inaccuracies are typical of Chopin's notation and belong to the most frequent flaws in the notation of his works.
