The staccato dot above the 2nd chord of the L.H. was added in GE2 (→GE3) probably by analogy to bar 20. We do not include that arbitrary addition in our main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

A staccato dot was added in GE2 (→GE3) over the 2nd chord, probably by analogy to bar 51 and also bars 50 and 52. That dot does not appear in A (→GE1→FE→EE), and in our opinion the occurrence of dots, accents and slurs in this fragment is not regular enough to justify potential additions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

We consider the omission of the dot above the 1st crotchet in GE1 (→FE→EE) to be accidental, as the engraver probably placed the dot above a wrong note. The dot was supplemented in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

In GE1 (→FE→EE) the sixth e1-c2 has a staccato dot. This is most probably a mistake - the dot was to refer to the 1st crotchet of that bar. The sign was removed in GE2 (→GE3). Cf. the note to bar 53. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

Apart from the changes of rhythm Chopin also introduced modifications of performance markings in those bars. We can see the lengthening of the 1st slur in bar 59 and erasing the slur running from the last note of that bar, and also a wedge over the crotchet b flat1 and a removed accent over g flat1. Cf. bars 63-64. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A |
