In the main text we include the f semibreve present in A. It also appears in all sources of the orchestral part (in violas), including in the later record of this bar in AsI. The absence of that note in the editions most probably resulted from a mistake by the engraver of GE1; perhaps he was uncertain where to put it – more or less in the middle of the bar, as in A, or at the beginning of bar as required by the general rule of vertical alignment of notes played simulaneously. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

According to the notation of AsI, the intended shape of the melody of this fragment always included the bottom second (b1), both in the introduction and the ending. Therefore, the fact that A (→GE1→EE) does not include a written-out ending of the trill does not mean that Chopin intended a performance without an ending; it is simply an inaccurate notation. The changes introduced into GE2 and FE resulted from Chopin's intervention, whereas GE2 misinterpreted Chopin's indication, as a result of which the grace notes were encompassed with an octave sign and not added after the trill (as they should be). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Authentic corrections of GE |

Due to small gaps between the notes in GE1, the minims and the following dotted crotchets are written very close to each other; consequently, FE and EE interpreted it as a cue to combine the voices, which, in turn, led to the two notes being played simultaneously. In subsequent bars, a similar situation can be observed. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The version of GE1 (→EE) must be a Terzverschreibung, corrected in GE2 (→GE3,FESB) and in FE1, probably by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
