The dashes marking the range of cresc. were misinterpreted in FC and GE; in turn, EE reproduced them inaccurately. The copyist, who did not notice dim. in b. 31, led the dashes until this very bar, since he was convinced that the dashes in the following bars mark the continuation of crescendo. The engraver of GE forgot the dashes on a new line of text. The engraver of EE probably considered the notation of FE to be inaccurate and led the dashes to the end of b. 28, which, actually, seems to be one of the acceptable interpretations of the notation of A (→FE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Errors of FC |

In these bars, in spite of the strict analogy to b. 13-16 (except for the first two and the last semiquavers), Chopin wrote a different pedalling. Due to a dense notation and the use of an abbreviation in b. 32, it posed, however, similar challenges in its interpretation. The copyist considered – and rightly so – that leaving the last See also b. 1-4. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Fontana's revisions |

In the main text we suggest taking into account the pedalling on the 2nd beat of the bar, added in FE (→EE) and generally compliant with the markings in the next, analogous bars (the issue concerning the placement of the last pedal change in this and adjacent bars is discussed in the previous note). As FE1 was corrected by Fontana, and it seems highly unlikely that he would have consulted that addition with Chopin, we put the marks in brackets. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE |

The dynamic indication of A was not accurately reproduced in any of the remaining sources. The most serious mistake was committed by Fontana, who did not notice the dim. indication and continued writing crescendo dashes in FC, which radically changed the effect intended by Chopin. Therefore, dim. is also absent in GE, in which, however, the oversight of dashes (already from b. 26) mitigated the results of the copyist's mistake. Omission of some or all dashes in FE and EE are minor inaccuracies. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Errors of FC |
