In the stage of proofreading FE, the ending of this tutti underwent a similar change as in the previous variation. Eventually, in the version for one piano, all four endings – of the Theme and the first three variations – were given a similar form, with a chord in a higher register (in open position) on the 2nd quaver and a doubled or tripled b category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Bass register changes , Main-line changes |

The pitch of the 2nd semiquaver in the 5th triplet is questionable – when interpreted literally, it is an e3; however, in all analogous places a respective note is placed a fifth (perfect) lower than the previous one, in this case e In AsI the 5th triplet in the bar is presented in the initial form (see also bar 328), in which the problematic note is absent. The introduction of a change in this place is an argument for Chopin's mistake in A, since corrections narrow down the attention field, which is conducive to errors. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Accidentals in different octaves , Omissions to cancel alteration , Errors resulting from corrections , Errors of A , Main-line changes |

root on the third one.
restoring e
to the unquestionable e3 in the next triplet belongs to Chopin's typical inaccuracies – it is a note belonging to the current chord (A major) and was marked a semiquaver earlier in the L.H. part. Taking into consideration the above, in the main text we suggest adding accidentals so that the discussed fragment of the progression does not deviate from the binding scheme.
