a​​​​​​​1 in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

a1 in GE3

..

The arbitrary version of GE3 is almost certainly erroneous – such an anticipation of a chord that is to be played shortly with notes of the figuration is typical of Chopin, cf. e.g. bar 279 of this movement of the Concerto, the Etude in C Major, Op. 10 No. 1,   bar 5, the Etude in A Minor, Op. 25 No. 11, bars 8 and 10 or the Ballade in G Minor, Op. 23, bar 63. The a1 note, present in harmonically similar bar 492, does not constitute an argument for a possible wrong insertion of a ​​​​​​​ in the discussed bar, since the melodic context of the preceding figuration is different there.

Slur from quaver in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Slur from semiquavers in GE3

..

A later start of the slur in GE3, although seemingly justified, is probably contrary to Chopin's final intention. The traces visible in FE prove that the four-bar slur starting from the 1st quaver resulted from proofreading – originally, these bars were provided with shorter slurs, out of which the first one, encompassing bar 496 only, most probably started after the 1st quaver.

Long accent in FE

​​​​​​​ in GE & EE

Short accent suggested by the editors

..

The mark under the 2nd triplet is a long accent or a short diminuendo, and both interpretations can be considered justified. However, having analysed all three analogous bars (bars 504-505 and 508), in the main text we adopt a short accent after bar 504.
