The accents in A written on the bottom stave clearly refer to the g notes. In spite of that, in FE (→GE) they were placed under B in the L.H., which, according to us, is a result of misunderstanding of the autograph. The overlooked in EE2 signs were completed in EE3 (→EE4), however, they were arbitrarily given the form of vertical accents. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE |

One can have doubts concerning the type of the accent used in A to indicate the beginning of the motif. According to us, it is the long accent that is more likely. In FE (→GE1) the sign was reproduced inaccurately, so that in EE2 (→EE3) it was placed over the 2nd semiquaver in the bar. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies |

Out of four accents in A concerning the g notes, only two are in FE (→GE). At the same time, the accent in bar 58 was placed under the B note in the L.H., which certainly does not follow from the notation of A. It is probably a result of inattention of the engraver of FE, yet the compliance with the parallel change in the layout of beams suggests a possibility of a coordinated action in this respect, hence Chopin's proofreading. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

It is unclear whether Chopin wanted to mark the staccato of the quaver after the semiquaver triplet with a dot, as it is in A, or with a wedge, as it is in AI (only in bar 58) and FE (→GE,EE; in EE2 both signs were omitted, while in GE3 in bar 58 there is a dot). In this case, we consider A as the most reliable source. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE |

It is hard to determine whether the missing accent in FE (→GE,EE), probably resulting from the engraver's inaccuracy, was not eventually accepted by Chopin – cf. bars 61 and 62. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |
