As is the case with the remaining similar bars, in FE (→EE) it is only the top note of the 1st R.H. octave that is separated as a crotchet. It must be a mistake, which is proven by the dots prolonging both notes of the octaves in analogous b. 36-40. To the main text we adopt the undoubtedly correct notation of GE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

In the main text we include the dots prolonging the octaves at the beginning of these bars, added in the stage of proofreading of FE2 and EE1. Admittedly, they were not proofread by Chopin, yet his participation in the development of this impression cannot be ruled out completely, while a comparison with the undoubtedly authentic dots in similar b. 37-40 and 65-66 makes us consider that addition to be right.

The issue whether the accidentals to the small notes apply to the normal-sized notes was not clearly stated in Chopin's time, as it turns out. In GE and FE there is no accidental before the bottom note of the L.H. chord on the 3rd beat in b. 62 and 63, d, which, at least theoretically, can be misleading. Naturals were only added in EE – in EE1 in b. 63 and in EE2 in b. 62. FE2 added a not so justified cautionary In the main text we include only the naturals before d in b. 62-63. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , FE revisions |

In the main text we include the pedal markings of GE, entered probably into [A] after [FC] had already been finished. We discuss b. 71 and 72-73 separately; in those bars the markings are also absent in GE. category imprint: Differences between sources |

A comparison with almost identical b. 39 suggests that the missing pedal markings on the 1st beat of the discussed bar are Chopin's oversight. Due to that reason, in the main text we suggest a respective addition. category imprint: Editorial revisions |
