composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
As with bar 224, it seems highly unlikely that the replacement of the four dots (emphasising in A the final melodic idea in this phrase) with wedges (reminding that the variation should be performed staccato) was introduced by GE1 under the influence of Chopin. In this edition this bar opens the page, which could have prompted the engraver (reviser?) to reinterpret the Chopinesque markings in such a way (markings that could be considered incomplete, cf. the adjacent note). The absence of wedges in the L.H. part in FESB is most probably the engraver's mistake. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges , Errors in FESB |

The sequence of pairs of chords present in these bars is a literal transposition of the sequence from bars 229-230. However, unlike that sequence, the discussed bars are devoid of slurs. According to us, it does not mean that they should be performed differently, as the slurs in bars 229-230 are to be considered a model to be followed also in these bars. To avoid any doubts, in the main text we add respective slurs, compliant with the GE revision (→FE,EE,IE). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the dots over the three L.H. chords were added probably by analogy with bar 231. We do not include them in the main text, leaving the choice of articulation to the performer. However, taking into account the fact that the use of staccato can be considered the most likely option, we consider the version of the editions to be an acceptable variant. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The accents over a3 in bar 230 and over a2 in bar 232 are undoubtedly long in A. Nevertheless, in GE (→FE,IE) they were reproduced as short accents, perhaps due to the significantly more dense text. The omission of one (in IE) or both (in EE) marks is due to the mistakes by the engravers of those editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in EE , Errors in IE |
