We consider the missing pedalling in these bars to be an oversight of Chopin in A: relevant markings were added both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE), they are also in analogous b. 346-357. Due to the discrepancies in subsequent sources, b. 452-457 are discussed separately. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Authentic corrections of FC |

The version of A is the original one, left by inadvertence: in an analogous situation, eight bars earlier, Chopin changed b2 to a2, and in the discussed bar he introduced an identical change in FC and FE. In the case of FE the change was introduced in the last phase of proofreading, not included in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Authentic corrections of FE , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Authentic corrections of FC |

In the main text we give the concordant pedalling of b. 452-453 and 456-457, entered by Chopin into FC (→GE1) and added by him in the proofreading of FE (→EE). The version of GE2 is an arbitrary revision, making those bars similar to b. 350-351 and 354-355. GE3 restored the version of FC and GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of FC |

There is no accidental before the last note in b. 469 and before the penultimate one in b. 471 in A. This patent inaccuracy was corrected by Fontana in FC (→GE). Initially, both bars were deprived of the marks in FE; moreover, in b. 469 the discussed note was printed an octave too high (perhaps considering the use of an octave sign). That version was passed on to EE1, which added only the in b. 471. In FE in the last phase of proofreading the note in b. 469 was moved to the right pitch, adding a next to it, yet the mark in b. 471 was not added. In EE2 (→EE3) the pitch of the last note in b. 469 was corrected in accordance with the logic of the passage's structure, yet the was not added. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Accidentals in different octaves , Errors in EE , Authentic corrections of FE , Fontana's revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

Chopin added a 12-bar crescendo both in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE). In the main text we reproduce the notation of FC, in which the word cresc. appears in b. 528 slightly earlier (anyway, in the case of such a long dynamic change it does not actually matter). See also b. 540. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of FC |
