Despite significant differences in the length of the marks in b. 250, 252, 254 & 256 visible in A, we consider all of them to be accents. The mark in b. 250 in itself could be regarded as a long accent; however, in the context of two subsequent ones, we interpret it as a short accent. Due to the reasons discussed in analogous b. 118-124, in the main text we give a notation unified with four short accents; such a solution was also applied in GE2 (→GE3). The two missing marks in FC (→GE1) are most probably an oversight, while the changes introduced in EE, with differentiated accents for both hands and vertical accents, the latter being typical of that edition – a revision. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

Separate L.H. slurs in b. 250-252 and 258-260 are an arbitrary revision of GE2. One reason for this might be the changes to the original layout performed in that edition, in particular moving the R.H. part fragments written down by Chopin on the bottom stave together with the L.H. part to the top stave. Due to the separation of the parts of both hands, it becomes less intuitive that the slur over the R.H. part applies to both hands (we do not reproduce the layout of GE2 in our transcriptions). category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: GE revisions |

The accent added in the stage of proofreading FE (→GE,EE) almost certainly comes from Chopin, hence we introduce it into the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |
