On the available photograph of A, the notation of the bottom voice in the L.H. part is difficult to interpret and most probably erroneous. The authenticity of the version of FE (→GE,EE) is also uncertain; it could have resulted from the actions of the engraver of FE1. According to us, it is highly unlikely that Chopin would have wanted to shorten the duration of the bass note with respect to analogous b. 45 – such a shortening is practically imperceptible, particularly when using harmonic pedalling, which is natural in this context. Therefore, in the main text we give a text analogous to b. 45. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors resulting from corrections , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

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 |

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.
