 Chopin - Nocturne Op. Post: Lento con gran expressione in C# minor

Hello.
I am new to this forum but I hope to learn a lot from all of the contributors on here.
I have started to really appreciate Chopin's music and in particular, I adore this piece which is sublime music!!
The recording that I have of this piece is played by Daniel Barenboim and it is his interpretation that I know very well as I have listened to it many times.
Anyway, recently I started listening to others' interpretations on you-tube as I wanted to see the variations in phrasing etc of this delightful piece.
What I came across, was quite astonishing!! It seems that up to 50% of the people on there play a different note to Barenboim. I do not know which exact bar this occurs because I do not have the music for this piece but in fact after the intro. part which is repeated, it is in the next section when the music moves from C# minor chord to C# major before moving to well, there in is the discrepancy.......Barenboim plays in the left hand F# as the lower note of the notes played whereas some others seem to play D# as being the lower note which I have to say seems very odd to me  but then again I am used to hearing Barenboim's interpretation with the F# rather than the D# so I guess it is difficult for me to be objective about it. 
Does anyone know how this discrepancy has arisen?? Does anyone know what Chopin actually wanted in his original score of the piece or was the fact that is was published posthumously a factor which has resulted in this discrepancy?
I don't know how but I think it would great to have a poll on this point to see if there is a majority of people that favour one note over the other?
I am not sure how this is done but perhaps someone could help me set up a voting system as I am curious to know whether I am the only person to whom D# sounds incorrect and F# sounds that it belongs in the piece.
I would be interested to hear others' opinions on this point!
Best Regards

Chopin Nocturne in C# minor(posth.) trills
May 10, 2008, 11:38:17 AM by feddera

So I just started on my first Chopin nocturne, but I'm not sure how to play the trills. When I try they just sound wrong. I'm guessing they should be played as 16th notes, but which note do you start on? Like in measure 5 and measure 47, which notes, in what order, and how many of them should I play?

Chopin Nocturne in C# Min (posthumous)

Hi all,
I've been lurking in the background for a few weeks now and am enjoying the forum.
Thought I'd post this Nocturne - have been working on it for a couple of months now. There are a couple of stumbles in it and is definitely a work in progress. I would value any constructive criticisms or comments.
Cheers, Kylie
