In the main text we present the marking cresc. - - - after GC (→GE). In EE it is written out in syllables, which is a characteristic of this edition. in FE there is no marking - Chopin may have written [A2] hastily (cf. annotation to 573). category imprint: Differences between sources |

In bars 575 and 579 of FE there are long accents, in EE - short (in b. 575 no accent). Accents in GC may be taken as long since they extend over two quavers, or short, as marks of this length most of the time in his manuscript represent short accents (shorter marks actually do not appear there, and long accent marks are undoubtedly and visibly longer). In GE they were interpreted as short ones. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

Pedalling signs only present in FE may have been added by Chopin upon proofreading, which is furrther indicated by the lack of such signs in b. 608 and 612, which in the manuscript serving as the basis for FE, were most probably marked as repetitions of bars 576 and 580, and so should include the same performance markings. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

Accents in these bars may be interpreted as long (especially in FE, and probably in GC) or short (EE and GE, more probbale in GC). For the main text we adopt short accents because of the notation including rests at the end if each bar - if Chopin wanted to suggest longer sounds, he should have written crotchets. As and additional argument to support this view, we see that in FE in bars 613-616, repeating bars 581-584, there are short accents. In FE there is no accent in 588, which is obvious inaccuracy. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE |
