All articulation indications and accents in bars 79-84 were added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→EE). However, the attention is drawn by the fact that the slurs were introduced in the entire four-bar section, yet the accents appear only in bars 79-80. It is unclear whether it is a result of distraction (Chopin's or the engraver's) or a conscious decision of the composer, which, after all, does not have to indicate a change in the performance manner, as the accents in bars 79-80 may be interpreted as a model valid until the end of bar 82.
