Complemented FE version suggested by the editors |

Modified FE version, our alternative suggestion |
All three source versions of the text written in smaller notes are rather a harmonic complement to the solo part when "performed without accompaniment" than an actual replica of the string voices. At the same time, the earlier versions of Af and A are closer to the orchestral part than the later one, placed in a higher register. All versions of notation also contain mistakes or rhythmic simplifications; we reproduce the clearly erroneous ones only in the content transcription (version "transcript").
To the main text we adopt the supplemented version of FE (repeated also in EE3), which is evidence of Chopin's latest interaction with the solo part urtext.
Alternatively, assuming the erroneous rhythmic value of the d
1-b1 sixth, we suggest a modified version of FE1. The versions of Af and A are almost identical in terms of sound; the former allows us to locate the mistake in the vague rhythmic version of A in bar 261 – the a-c1 quaver is supposed to be a semiquaver. The missing orchestral inserts in AsI are due to its working, unfinished nature, while in GE – probably due to the vague notation of A.
