A (→FE) has a cautionary before the 7th L.H. semiquaver, a1. The accidental was omitted in FC (→GE1), however, EE and GE2 have flats there in both the L.H. and R.H. parts. We also include these signs in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Errors of FC |

The change of the number of beams introduced by GE is wrong – in a bar, it is groups including at least 32 notes (but less than 64) that should be written as demisemiquavers. In this situation, the fact that this mistake was repeated in EE2 is puzzling. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In the main text, we add – as in bars 9-10 – separate wedges to the :\L.H. octaves. In the discussed bars, this notation also occurs in FE (→EE). The mark in b. 12 was overlooked in FC (→GE), and the other (a wedge in b. 11) was reproduced in GE as a staccato dot. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , FE revisions , Wedges , Errors of FC |

Formally speaking, the version of GE is justified here; however, it is highly likely that Chopin wrote this group in semiquavers (like all the others) because he did not want to unnecessarily suggest a significant acceleration of movement. Such a notation is to be found in his pieces on a number of occasions – cf., e.g. the Prelude in D major no. 15, b. 4 and 79. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In A (→FC,FE1) there are no accidentals before the last semiquaver (in both hands), which, when interpreted literally, gives d1 and d. In FE2 a was added, yet only in the R.H., where it is a cautionary accidental. GE and EE include naturals in both hands. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in FE |
