The cautionary naturals to c1 in b. 53 and C in b. 54 were added – perhaps by Chopin – in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , FE revisions |

It is difficult to say whether the missing diminuendo resulted from an oversight of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE) or from Chopin's proofreading. In A, the indication is very clear, hence there are no visible reasons why someone would not notice it; on the other hand, there are no traces of it having been removed in FE. In this situation, in the main text we follow the version of FE, our principal source, proofread by Chopin twice. The text of A may be considered an equal variant; as an alternative to the main text, we suggest a variant solution with brackets. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The pedalling of A, in which the pedals in the 2nd half of b. 54 and in b. 55 encompass half a bar each, was considered inaccurate already by FE (→GE,EE). According to us, in this case, the engraver of FE properly assessed the situation – Chopin wrote only the first category imprint: Differences between sources issues: FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |
to the bottom note of the octave. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in 
mark in b. 54 while acknowledging the change of a chord on the 3rd crotchet. The inaccuracy could have been caused by the R.H. part not having been written out – see the previous note in this bar.
