In A, there are no staccato/portato dots over the chords in b. 256, while the mark in b. 257, not included by FE (→GE,EE), may be a fleck on paper or a fleck of ink (it is impossible to draw any conclusions on the basis of the available photograph of A). However, taking into account the distinct dots of A in an almost identical motif in b. 252-253, we believe that it is highly likely that Chopin could have generally meant the same performance here. Therefore, in the main text we include the dot in b. 257 and add dots in b. 256, which, being the last in a line, could have been written down less carefully. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccuracies in A |
