The undoubtedly long accent, written by Chopin in A, was overlooked by the engraver of FE. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) a short accent was added, most probably after analogous notation in bar 76. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Errors in GE |

In FE (→EE) there is no staccato dot for the 2nd quaver in the bottom voice of the R.H., in spite of its presence in A. It is a patent oversight of the engraver. In turn, in GE1 the engraver did not include staccato signs for the bottom voice at all. The mistake was not corrected in the subsequent editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Errors in GE |

Over the last quaver in the L.H. FE (→GE,EE) includes an erroneous sign of vertical accent. It results from a misinterpretation of A, in which Chopin wrote the ritenuto indication between the R.H. and the L.H. in such a way that the link between the "u" and "t" letters created a circumflex over that note. An erroneous accent was placed also in analogous bar 77. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Errors in GE |

The sign written by Chopin in A is in this context undoubtedly a reversed sign of long accent. Such signs are not very frequent in Chopin's autographs, yet they are always present next to a second (usually semi-tone) step upwards – introducing an expressively important note. The accent was correctly reproduced by the engraver of FE (→GE1). In GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) the reviser included a common short accent, whereas in EE the sign was totally overlooked. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , GE revisions |
