In the main text we include the pedal markings added by Chopin while proofreading FE (→GE,EE). In b. 223 in GE, the asterisk is placed after the d minim. It must be a mistake, probably a 'mirror' mistake – placing a mark on the wrong side of a reference point, e.g. a note. category imprint: Differences between sources |

It is highly unlikely that the slur added in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE) was supposed to have such a range. According to us, Chopin entered into the proof copy a slur running from the c minim, perhaps inaccurately, which resulted in it starting later in the editions (the slur pointed upwards, just like the one in b. 226-227, which we do not reproduce in our transcriptions). This interpretation is supported by the aforementioned slur in b. 226-227, also added in the stage of proofreading FE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we add a cautionary to a1 in b. 225. A respective accidental in b. 227 was already added by FE (→GE,EE), most probably at Chopin's request – cf. b. 217-219, in which Chopin wrote this in A the second time, i.e. in b. 219. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE |

FE (→GE,EE) added an unobvious cautionary to a in the 2nd crotchet. It suggests that it was Chopin who performed it, since a few other situations prove the composer's subconscious uncertainty as to the validity of a 3rd key signature , e.g. the mistake in b. 231. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE |
