It is problematic to assess the range of the hairpin entered into FES most probably by Chopin – the arms of the mark are clearly of a different length, which happened often to Chopin. According to us, it is the top arm that is reliable, probably written first, from right to left. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Scope of dynamic hairpins , Annotations in FES |

The pencilled mark written in FES over the L.H. part may be interpreted as a slur (the range of which would mimic the one of the slur in b. 81). However, it is uncertain whether it is a slur at all, hence we signalize this possibility as an alternative version only. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Source & stylistic information |

The published version of the last L.H. crotchet, a C-c octave, is most probably a result of a correction, which is revealed by the way it was written down in A – the bottom note is at the same pitch as the three E notes in b. 32-34 (as well as the ledger lines of the three D notes), while the ledger line placed above it differs in the thickness from the adjacent ones, which shows that it was added later. Therefore, it was initially an E-c sixth. In this situation, we consider the correction (performed in all three teaching copies bearing traces of being developed, i.e. FED, FEJ and FES) turning the octave back to a sixth to be Chopin's final decision (probably), presumably taken after multiple trials. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Corrections in A , Chopin's hesitations , Annotations in FES , Authentic post-publication changes and variants , Annotations in FEJ |

This bar is a literal repetition of b. 33; as was the case with that bar, Chopin signalized a change of concept of the last crotchet with compliant corrections in the teaching copies. The changed version was also introduced by GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Chopin's hesitations , GE revisions , Annotations in FES |

In the main text we include the mark indicating that the e crotchet should be performed by the R.H. The suggestion – facilitating the performance – was entered into FES, presumably by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources |
