The distinct wedge over the 1st chord written in A was overlooked in GE1. When proofreading FE (→EE), Chopin restored the staccato sign, yet this time in the form of a dot. The version, being the latest, should be adopted in the main text, if it were not for doubts whether the sign written by Chopin was reproduced correctly. Errors in interpretation of Chopin wedges would be very frequent in first editions – cf. e.g. the Etude in E major, Op. 10 No. 11, bars 2-14 or 16-23. Therefore, we leave the wedge as the undoubtedly authentic and generally compliant with the nature of the Chopin proofreading, whose main objective was to restore the overlooked staccato sign. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Wedges |

The missing one or two accents in the L.H. are certainly a result of mistakes of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE) and the reviser of GE2. The change of the type of accents in EE is a routine revision in this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The missing staccato dot over the F quaver and long accent after are almost certainly oversights of the engraver of GE1. Both signs were added in GE2, although the characteristic Chopin combination was not reproduced in accordance with the notation of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |
