2 different accents in FC

3 different accents in FE

2 short accents in EE & GE

2 long accents suggested by the editors

In the main text, we give the accent in bar 79 on the basis of FC, where it could have been written by Chopin (cf. bars  71-75). The sign in bar 77 is probably the original version of the accent, left by inattention, analogous to the signs present in the passages including one bar only, hence we suggest there a long accent based on analogous bars. This is the notation, probably original, that is included in FE in bar 77 and in EE and GE in both discussed bars. The notation of FE in bar 79, used in this context only there, may be erroneous (see also bars 74-76).

Slur in A1 & GE

Tie in FE (→EE)

..

In FE (→EE) a routine transfer of the slur to the side of noteheads changed the unequivocal slur of A1 into a tie of c1. Unlike in b. 65-66, no attempts were taken to correct that mistake. In the main text we give the unequivocal version of A1 and GE.

Long accents suggested by the editors

..

In the main text, we give the accents in bar 78 after the notation of FC, corrected by Chopin. We also apply it in bar 80, overlooked at the time of corrections, probably as a result of the composer's inattention. The versions of the editions are probably inaccurate or inconclusive (cf. bars 74-76).

No indication in sources

[cresc.] suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we suggest adding a cresc. marking after b. 62, with which the discussed bar is supposed to be identical. Since Chopin added cresc. in b. 62, its absence here is most probably an overlooked correction of one of a few analogous places, a frequent phenomenon in Chopin's works.

Pedalling in FE

Our suggestion

..

Omission of the pedalling signs in FE in bar 80 is certainly an oversight (cf. bars 31-32), therefore, in the main text we suggest to complete them after all previous analogous bars.
