b. 184

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Staccato dot in A (→GCGE)

No mark in FE

2 dots in EE

..

The lack of staccato dot in FE results probably from an oversight or a lack of space. The second dot in EE cannot be authentic – it is either an arbitrary revision or a mistake.

b. 195-196

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Short accents in A

Long accents in GC (→GE) & FE

Vertical accents in EE

..

The four accents in A, although rather big, are nonetheless distinctly shorter than long accents e.g. in bars 39, 41-43 or 68. In GC accents are much longer what was reproduced in GE (the marks in GE are longer than accents in e.g. bars 179-180 or 184). FE has long accents as well, but EE arbitrarily replaced them with vertical accents.

b. 197

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Staccato dot in A (probable reading→GC)

Wedge in A, possible reading

No mark in EE, FE & GE.

..

It is not completely clear whether the staccato mark in A is a dot or a wedge. In the main text we give a dot for despite its irregular shape the mark is similar in size to a dot. That is how it was also understood by the copyist. In EE, FE and GE, probably due to a mistake, the mark was omitted.
