As above. 

I've been learning this piece for a month and I'm playing the same version played by Paul Barton

Chopin Ballade No.1 with SCORE - P. Barton, FEURICH piano - YouTube

 

Even the version played by Garrick Ohlsson in his tutorial is the same as the one played by Paul Barton. 

 

So, several weeks ago, I decided to listen how other famous pianists perform the Ballade, and I discovered in Krystian Zimmerman's performance that there is an extra section in the middle!

Can someone explain why there are 2 different versions of the ballade in G minor and which is the legit one?
