Both versions of the pedalling are most probably authentic; however, it is likely that the two-bar pedal from GE is the version Chopin wanted to forgo, yet he overlooked this place while performing corrections in [AG] (→GE). Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest a variant solution, in which we leave the issue of changing the pedal under the bars to the discretion of the performer. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

The version of AI with triads is the original one, left almost certainly by inadvertence. Its traces can also be seen in AF, in which, however, Chopin changed both chords – differently than in all analogous bars – to sixths. According to us, the change of the chord on the 3rd beat of the bar could have been a mistake; therefore, in the main text we give the unequivocal version of GE, which is compliant with the remaining analogous places. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections , Deletions in A , Accompaniment changes |

The d1 note on the 2nd beat of the bar seems to be Chopin's mistake in AF, since all analogous places feature b, which does not hamper the performance of the R.H. part (in AI Chopin would cross out even the d1 notes in b. 48 and 54). In turn, the sixth on the 3rd beat of the bar may be intentional – cf. b. 56, in which there is a sixth in a similar context, before the change of the bass note to G. Due to the above reason, we suggest a variant version with b in brackets as an alternative. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of A |

In the main text we include the mark written in AF. Both here and in the next few bars this autograph includes more detailed dynamic markings. The missing hairpin in FE (→EE) is most probably an oversight. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

The version of GE is most probably erroneous – it was the text of the next bar that was written, in which there is no b in the L.H. due to b, the 2nd R.H. quaver. In the discussed bar, the presence of b in the chords is advantageous both in terms of harmony (b from the previous bar moves to b) and dynamics – entry of the G major chord in dynamics. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |
