b. 276

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

 in A (→GE) & EE2

No indication in FE (→EE2)
..

The absence of  is probably an oversight by the copyist or by the engraver of FE1. It is supported by the presence of cresc. - - - leading to this bar in FE, whose range is identical as in A, as a result of which the possibility that both markings were added independently (cf. bar 101 and 109) is less likely; therefore, it is rather A that is the only original source of the markings.

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

2 slurs in A

Continuous slur in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The A slurs were almost certainly divided due to graphical reasons – Chopin would generally write slurs on the side of noteheads, often at the expense of accuracy, cf., e.g. I mov., bars 179-183. The fact that this version was left in A allows us to assume that Chopin considered both variants of slurs to be equal, hence in the main text we provide the continuous slur of GE (→FE,EE,IE).

Staccato dots in A

No marks in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

One could understand the omission of the dots in GE (→FE,EE,IE) – in A they are written close to the octave sign (consisting of dashes and dots), hence they could have been easily confused with it (particularly the one in bar 275).
