The concordant text of A1 and CJ leaves no doubts that it was also [A2] that featured f here. Therefore, the d note present in CK (→CB) and EL is a result of an arbitrary decision and most likely Kolberg's mistake, doubled by the use of abridged notation and reproduced by further copying. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Terzverschreibung error , Kolberg's revisions |

Separating the tenor voice must have been an arbitrary decision introduced in EL. According to us, it is likely that the author thereof was Kolberg, who added similar short motifs in the middle section of the Lento (b. 35-36 and 39-40). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Kolberg's revisions , Revisions in EL |

In the main text we preserve the characteristic, "naive" Chopinesque orthography. In CB it was corrected in accordance with the rules, which Chopin did not always obey, particularly in working autographs or drafts (cf., e.g. the Etude in C Minor, Op. 10 No. 4, b. 15 and 19). After all, the avoidance of double accidentals can also be encountered in works of other 19th-century composers. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Balakirev's revisions |
