The bottom notes of the bottom voice crotchets, written down in A, were removed in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE), certainly by Chopin. In an analogous situation in b. 199 Chopin had already crossed out the bottom notes of the chords in A, hence the change introduced while proofreading FE may be considered rectification of an oversight of the respective correction in the stage of writing A. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

From the middle of b. 99 on, Chopin stopped marking the articulation of the accompanying crotchets in A, which, however, most probably does not mean that they should be performed differently. In this situation, the staccato dots added in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE) may be considered an indication to change the articulation from portato to staccato. According to us, however, proofreading was either simplified or inaccurately carried out, and the aim was to indicate that the performance should not change further on. Due to the above reason, in the main text we suggest adding slurs too. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The version of GE most probably resulted from revisions – due to the beginning of this motif being similar to the previous figures, authentic c1 was considered a mistake. This version was also introduced by EE3, most probably on the basis of one of GE. By coincidence, a few years later such a mistake – c1 minim instead of d1 in a similar harmonic context – was actually committed in FE1 of the Ballade in F major, Op. 38, b. 203. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

In A, Chopin initially wrote a shorter slur, encompassing only the quaver figure in b. 100. The slur, written under the notes, was then removed and replaced with a longer one, over the notes. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Deletions in A |

In the main text, we remind you that the bottom notes of the melody led in octaves are to be performed by the left hand, as indicated by Chopin while proofreading FE in the previous bars. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
