Both dots visible in A over the first two R.H. semiquavers are quite far from the notes and clearly not in the same line (vertically speaking); therefore, one wonders whether they are not accidental spots. However, the dots are clear and regular, while the shifts with respect to the notes they probably concern are similar both in terms of distance and direction. Therefore, we assume that they are staccato dots with which Chopin indicated a slightly different type of articulation – most probably lighter – of the category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in GE |

In the main text we reproduce the 5 staccato marks – undoubtedly dots – entered into A. In GE (→IE) the mark at the beginning of bar 217 was omitted, while the remaining ones were reproduced as wedges. The absence of the marks in FE (bar 216) and EE1 (in both bars) is due to the engravers' mistakes. In EE2 marks were added in the places in which they are present in GE, yet dots were used, as in bar 215. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in EE , GE revisions , Wedges |

At the beginning of bar 216 and 220 in the main text we keep the typical, simplified A rhythmic notation. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the rhythmic value of the top note was changed to a crotchet, most probably in order to complete the top voice rhythm. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
