3 staccato dots in A & GE2

L.H. dots in EE

..

In GE1 (→FE) there is none of the three staccato dots written in A (under both bass notes and over the top most note in the R.H.), which is undoubtedly a mistake. EE added the signs in the L.H. (also in the next bar), most probably on the basis of comparison with the corresponding bar of the exposition. GE2 reproduced the notation of A.

One can see a Chopin proofreading in the well-sounding version of GE (→FEEE). However, an oversight of the engraver of GE1 also cannot be excluded; the engraver could have been influenced by the notation of the previous bar, including this type of coincidence of the voices at the beginning of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th group of semiquavers. Due to this reason, in the main text we give the version of A. However, the version of the editions, perhaps the latest authentic one, must be considered an equal variant.

Staccato dot in A, EE & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FE)

The missing staccato dot over the bass E is certainly a result of an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FE). The sign was added in EE, most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 142, whereas in GE2 on the basis of A.

The missing accent is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FEEE). The engraver might not have been sure to which note the shifted accent applied (it was one of the ways of marking long accents in Chopin's earlier autographs – cf. bar 230).

The missing staccato sign is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FEEE). In GE2, in spite of the clear wedge in A, a dot was added.
