It seems to be highly unlikely that Chopin consciously resigned from the marcato indication in GC (→GE). Its absence can be explained either by its oversight by the copyist or its later addition by Chopin in the base text to FE and EE (perhaps as a new idea after resignation from accents whose deletion in bars 25-29 is visible in GC). According to us, adding the accents as an equivalent of marcato and complete resignation from suggesting distinctive accentuation seem to be much less likely. Taking into account the above possibilities, we give this indication in the main text, placed as in FE, as the placement of marcato in EE under the part of the L.H. may be an arbitrary decision of the engraver or copyist.
