In A Chopin wrote and crossed out 4 pairs of dynamic hairpins. Each of the marks was more or less 2 bars long. If the crossing-out was related to the addition of the leggiero indication, it would be a trace proving the change of concept of this fragment from a casually virtuoso one to a more delicate one, which would not disturb the lyrical, intimate mood of the previous C minor section. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |

In the main text we include the markings written in A (→FE→EE). Their absence in FC (→GE1), in which the pedalling of the eight-bar section encompassing this bar (b. 346-357) was also written by Chopin, is, according to us, a result of the composer's inattention (cf. b. 448-459). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FC |

In GE2 the top voice is written in normal font notes. It is probably a mistake or perhaps an erroneous revision. GE3 restored the authentic notation using small quavers. Interestingly, normal font notation was initially also in A. However, Chopin quickly changed the concept and crossed out the R.H. part so written still before adding the L.H. part. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Deletions in A |
