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 dashes marking the range of the crescendo are led in both groups of sources (except for GE1) to the category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of FC |

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 the main text we give the pedalling added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE). In accordance with the observations expressed in the note to b. 65-76 on combining the bars based on the same chord with one pedal, one can assume that it was a routine operation of the composer, just like in a few other places, and that he did not consider a longer hold of pedal, more natural in this context. However, since analog. b. 247-248 are also provided with a pedal change, where the pedalling of FC was written independently, we suggest the version with a two-bar pedal only as an acceptable alternative solution. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The version of FE (→EE) is a result of Chopin's proofreading, hence we give it in the main text.

According to the editors, the staccato dots over the initial quavers in b. 186 and 188 may be an original version. It is indicated by the dots cancelled in FC in the analogous b. 54 and 56, and the absence of dots in FE (→EE), both here and in analogous b. 637 and 639, which points to their deletion during the proofreading of FE. Taking this into account we omit these dots in the main text. They were also omitted in GE2, presumably in line with the analogous b. 54 and 56. GE3 restored the FC version.
