b. 267

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

2 semiquavers in AsI & A (→GE→FESB)

Dotted rhythm in FE & EE
..

In the version of AsI and A (→GE→FESB) the dot prolonging g1 refers to the quaver and indicates that it should be held to c2 (actually to g1, which must be played again). In the version of FE1 and EE this dot refers to – also or only – the semiquaver, as a result of which the next note must be shortened. It is difficult to say whether the emergence of the other version in FE1 resulted from Chopin's proofreading or from the interpretation of the slightly misleading Chopinesque notation by the engraver or reviser, as in EE.

b. 267

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In A (→GE→FE,EE) the penultimate note is prolonged to the value of a quaver, which must be a mistake in this context.

b. 267

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Vertical accent in A (→GE→FE1,EE)

No mark in FESB
..

The missing vertical accent is probably an oversight by the engraver of FESB. See also the next two notes in this bar.

b. 267

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Grace note in AsI & A (→GE→FE,EE)

No grace note in FESB
..

The missing grace note is probably an oversight by the engraver of FESB; in this bar, he also overlooked 2 accents.

b. 267

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

2 horizontal accents in A (→GE→FE1)

2 vertical accents in EE

1 accent in FESB
..

The change of the type of accents to the vertical one was an arbitrary decision of EE, quite frequent. The missing accent on c2 is most probably an oversight by the engraver of FESB.
