The lack of a staccato dot for E flat must be considered Chopin's oversight in A (→GE1→FE), as all the remaining bass notes in the accompaniment of that type do have dots. The reason for such inaccurate notation could be corrections, the traces of which are visible in this place in A. The dot was added in EE and GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections , GE revisions |

The omission of the accent from GE1 (→FE→EE) was probably accidental. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE |

The staccato dot is missing in GE1 (→FE), which is certainly an error. The dot was added again in EE and GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE |

In A there are traces of changing performance markings in the L.H. part. Initially both crotchets had staccato dots, which Chopin later removed lengthening the slur and adding an accent. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A |

Each of the ten minims in that fragment has a long accent in A, and although the signs differ in length, reproducing them with the use of various markings (, long and short accents) seems not fully justified graphically and unconvincing from the musical point of view. In GE1 the signs were interpreted in two ways, either as ordinary short accents (bars 77, 81 and 82) or as from the minim to the crotchet. That notation was repeated in FE with just one change in bar 77. In EE, marks were used in bars 73-78 and accents in bars 81-88. The notation of A was most faithfully reproduced in GE2 (→GE3): long accents in bars 73-82 and in bars 85-88. That version may be considered an alternative reading of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents |
