In the main text we give the two-bar pedal entered by Chopin into FC in analog. b. 239-240. FC is devoid of pedalling in the discussed bars, which is almost certainly Chopin's oversight: see the corresponding note in b. 105. In FE (→EE) there are two one-bar pedals, which may be considered an authentic variant; however, it is most likely a hastily written, less deliberate version. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In A there are visible traces of a correction of the rhythm of the last two chords in the R.H.: initially, they were provided with the following rhythm: category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A |

Chopin added a several-bar long crescendo both in FC (→GE) and in the proofreading of FE (→EE) (the latter started a bar later). In the main text we give the indication of FC, since it forms part of a much more detailed set of dynamic indications for the entire theme.

The pedalling in these bars was added later: undoubtedly by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE). However, one can have doubts whether the intention of Chopin's proof entry was interpreted correctly, since there is no reason to release pedals in the middle of the bar instead of at the end of it, like in all the remaining bars. Consequently, in the main text we give the version of GE2 (→GE3) modelled after the Chopinesque entry in FC in analog. b. 242-244. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In A there are visible deletions in the L.H. part in both bars. Below the original version: category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Accompaniment changes |
. However, it is uncertain whether the middle note of the last chord was also changed. Admittedly, in the deleted chord a more distinct trace of a note is visible at the pitch of f2, yet a change of rhythm only would not have required any deletion of notes; it would have been enough to blot out the quaver flag.
