The missing accent in GE (→FE,EE,IE) could be explained by an oversight by the GE engraver. However, he could have omitted the mark on purpose when it turned out that due to the small gap between the great staves, the mark placed over the R.H. in this bar could have been erroneously assigned to the L.H. crotchet in bar 59, placed above this bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

In GE the staccato dot was placed at the end of the stem, as a result of which it was not reproduced by any of the remaining editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

Although the A mark suggests the use of a short accent, in the main text we suggest a long accent due to the context of a long note, typical for long accents, additionally provided with a ten. indication (the issue of inaccurately written long accents in A – see mov. IV, bars 108-109). The editions also contain a long accent, extended, probably due to the fact that it was considered a diminuendo mark. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in EE |

The accent mark in A is longer than the one in bar 65, hence we reproduce it as a long accent. However, it is also likely that this difference is of a random nature, while the interpretation compliant with Chopin's intention is the one adopted by GE (→GE→FE,EE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Errors in IE |

The staccato dot added in GE (→FE) is an arbitrary decision of the engraver or a mistake. Two similar sequences in the R.H. part (bar 73 and 75), in which it is also the first, longer octave that is devoid of a dot, prove that it was also in this case that Chopin did not write this mark on purpose. The compliance of EE and IE with the A version can be explained by revisions aimed at standardising this bar after bar 73 and 75. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , |
