The slur under the last three quavers of the R.H. bottom voice added in GE (→FE,EE) is questionable, as far as its possible authenticity is concerned. The slurring of this bar could actually be considered incomplete; however, a slur of such range does not correspond to any tangible structural unit (motif), while legato articulation is indicated in the sources of the orchestral part for the entire 6-note motif of the bassoon I from the 2nd quaver in the bar to the beginning of bar 355. According to us, the slur could have resulted from a misunderstanding in interpreting A or an entry in the proof copy of GE1 (perhaps Chopinesque). Taking into account the above, we do not include this slur in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In all sources the bass f is provided with a wrong rhythmic value – a minim in AsI and a dotted minim in A (→GE→FE,EE). The mistake could have resulted from copying the notation of the bassoon II part, in which this note is played from the beginning of the bar and is provided with such a value – a minim in AsI and a dotted minim in GEork (→FEork). In the main text we give the correct value, written down in accordance with the division of the beams of the bottom voice on the top stave in A. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE , Errors in FESB |

The version of A must be erroneous, which is indicated by a comparison with analogous bar 342, the text of AsI and probably Chopinesque proofreading of FE2. An octave sign was also added in GE2 (→GE3,FESB) and EE3. If – which is likely – the change in EE3 was introduced on the basis of a comparison with FE, it means that a copy of FE2 was used. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

The absence of d2 in the 15th semiquaver in AsI is almost certainly Chopin's mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources |

As before (bars 343 and 347) the engraver of EE arbitrarily used vertical accents here. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |
