In each of b. 13-16 and 29-32, Chopin initially separated in A the 3rd and 5th semiquavers (b1-e1 and g1-c1, respectively) as an additional voice consisting of a quaver and a semiquaver: . He then abandoned that voice; he crossed out the beam and the additional stem of the 5th semiquaver. However, he left the additional stem of the 3rd semiquaver; he even prolonged it over the crossed-out beam, which must have meant that the note should be a crotchet. The sense of such corrections was guessed neither by Fontana nor by the engraver of FE.

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.

In the main text we keep the notation of the grace note used in A. The versions of the remaining sources result from revisions (slashed grace note in FC) or mistakes (missing slur in FE).
