  b. 124

No marking in PE1 (→GE)

 in PE2 (→PE3→PE4)

 suggested by the editors

The  indication was added in PE2 (→PE3→PE4) probably as a correction of the oversight by the engraver of PE1 (→GE). According to us, however, it is more likely that the indication entered into [A] was , and not :

  • Chopin would use  only in exceptional cases,
  • publishers had problems with deciphering  as a less popular form of this indication (on a number of occasions, it was replaced with , while in the Variations in B, Op. 12 an uncommon zf abbreviation was used a few times).
