b. 177-178

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Staccato dot in A

No mark in GC (→GE) & FE

3 dots in EE

..

The staccato dot written in A over the first bass octave in bar 177 was overlooked in other sources except EE. In this edition the dots were also added to the next two bass octaves, in the middle of bar 177 and at the beginning of bar 178.

b. 179-180

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

3 accents in A (→EE)

2 accents in GC (→GE)

No accents in FE

..

The omission of an accent over the a-a1 octave in bar 180 in GC (→GE) and FE (FE omitted two previous accents as well) results almost certainly from distraction caused by deletions and corrections in A – Chopin was forced to write the ultimate version of the 2nd half of bar 179 in the margin because there was not enough space over the stave.

b. 183

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

1 accent in GC (→GE)

5 accents in EE

..

The omitted accents in both GC (→GE) and EE most probably result from inadvertence. Having completed copying notes and beams from an additional staff in A, the copyist might have looked at the main staff on which only the accent above the octave a-a1 is written.

Staccato dot in A (→GCGE)
