It is highly likely that Chopin overlooked the accents, since they are present in the analogous figures both in the previous bars and the next one. It is difficult to assume that Chopin would have wanted to forgo accents, especially the one on f1, which is crucial for the modulation to the key of the final polonaise. The transition to a new page in A (the discussed bar opens the page) was conducive to distraction. The indicated harmonic context suggests that it is also the addition of an accent only over d1 in GE (→FE) that seems to be a mistake or misunderstanding in the implementation of the proofreading corrections. Therefore, in the main text we include the revision of EE, which gives both accents, over d1 and f1. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

As in bar 266, in GE (→FE,EE) the hairpin encompassing the cresc. indication was overlooked, which could not have been authorised by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

In A the staccato marks over the bass G notes are clearly dots in this bar, and not wedges, as was the case before and as was conveyed by GE and the remaining editions. It was not an inaccuracy of notation, since in both places one can see traces of corrections (erasures). In the next bars, the bass notes are not marked staccato at all, which may suggest that the articulation should get gradually longer (milder?) as the modulation progresses and as the music calms down. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Wedges |

The d1-e1 second, present in FE, is the original version – in FEG (→GE) Chopin added to it a g1. EE also features the completed version with the d1-e1-g1 chord. Therefore, the fact of leaving FE in the original version must be considered as Chopin's oversight. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of GE , Authentic corrections of EE |
