The long accent of A was quite faithfully reproduced in GE1 (→FE). Still, in EE and GE2 (→GE3) the sign was shortened to an ordinary short accent. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

We furnish the bass note d with a staccato dot, as the accidental omission of that sign seems more probable. Dots appear in A in similar bars 48 and 110. The dot was added in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Editorial revisions |

It is not certain whether the dot visible in A between the two notes of the sixth a1-f2 is a staccato sign or a miniature blot of ink without any significance. In all the places where Chopin marked staccato in a similar context, dots are placed above the notes. Therefore we leave the decision about taking this particular dot into consideration to the performer. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , EE inaccuracies |

A long accent of A was reproduced as a short one in GE (→FE); EE does not have any accent mark here. The comparison with the analogous bars, but first of all the pedalling added by Chopin in FE, make us consider the notation of A to be inaccurate in this case. category imprint: Interpretations within context issues: Long accents |
