In ½Chopin would try to avoid writing on the cello stave, as a result of which he wrote both  signs before respective bass notes. It also contributed to an earlier placement of the  sign, with respect to analogous bar 152, which in GE1 (→FE) was moved even closer to the beginning of the bar. EE and GE2 introduced some changes in the placement of the signs too (GE2 after A). In the main text we give an interpretation of the notation of A compliant with bar 152.

According to us, the pedalling of A is written inaccurately in this bar, which was probably caused by the transition to a new page and distraction at the time of writing the same bar for the third time – in bar 157 the pedalling is again compliant with bars 151 and 153. The versions of the editions are certainly arbitrary  – cf. bars 151-153.

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FEEE)

..

In bars 159-164, differentiation between long and short accents is unclear in A, yet the first three signs are evidently bigger or longer than the next two (see also bar 164). Since in an analogous fragment in the recapitulation (bars 309-314) the differences are entirely clear, in the main text we give here long accents too.
