In accordance with the explanation in the note to b. 127, in the main text we suggest adding articulation markings (in square brackets) after b. 127-130 and 147-148. We also add slurs (see the adjacent note). category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The difference between GE1 and FE in the number of bars featuring staccato markings for the L.H. crotchets does not influence the performance – in both cases the marks serve as a model, and the articulation is valid throughout the entire section until b. 197. To the main text we adopt the more accurate notation of GE1. The reduced number of dots in EE probably resulted from the engraver's inaccuracy, whereas the omission of the marks in GE2 is rather a revision (cf. b. 151-158). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The single staccato dot at the beginning of b. 196 in FE could have resulted from a mistake; however, it could have been added to remind us of the different articulation between the parts of both hands in a situation in which Chopin moved the majority of the R.H. part to the bottom stave (we do not reproduce this layout in our transcriptions, since it hampers the reading of the text). According to us, it is also the absence of staccato dots in GE that could have been associated with a concern – of Chopin or of the engraver – that the notation could become illegible. To avoid any doubts, in the main text we mark these bars the same as the preceding ones. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

Chopin could have added the staccato dots to [A] (→GE) after [FC], on which FE (→EE) was based, had already been finished. As was the case with b. 190-195, the difference has no impact on the performance, while in the main text we give the more accurate notation of GE. category imprint: Differences between sources |
