According to us, the staccato dot added in GE (→FE→EE) is either a revision or, which seems to be more likely, a mistake of the engraver. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In A, Chopin marked staccato only over the part of the R.H., which is undoubtedly valid for both hands in the context of this texture. In GE1 (→FE→EE), dots were printed only in bar 142, moved to the side of note heads (very frequent, routine intervention of engravers), and they were also added under the L.H. Oversight of the dots in bar 141 and 143-144 certainly stems from the engraver's carelessness, whereas addition of signs for the L.H. could have been ordered by Chopin. GE2 added the overlooked dots – in both hands – in bars 143-144. In the main text we present a similar solution, including signs on the last crotchet in bar 141. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Placement of markings , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

b. 146-148

..
The staccato signs at the beginning of bars 146 and 148 are written in A inconsistently – in bar 146 the sign is only in the R.H., whereas in bar 148 – in both. The kind of the employed sign in bar 146 can also raise doubts, yet clear wedges in bar 148 speak in favour of a wedge. We add a fourth wedge (bar 146, L.H.) in the main text, since Chopin wrote staccato signs in similar situations in bars 150, 154 and 156 in the parts of both hands. No signs in bar 146 is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), whereas the interpretation of all employed signs as dots must be an inaccuracy of the editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Wedges |

The missing staccato dot is certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). The sign also escaped the reviser of GE2. In the main text we add a dot also in the part of the L.H., since in the entire section Chopin would generally mark staccato on both staves (contrary to slurs – cf. bars 145-160). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

..
Staccato marked in A over the last crotchet in the parts of both hands is, according to us, a remaining element of the original version, in which the notes were not tied – cf. the note on the tie in the L.H. Therefore, we omit these dots in the main text. In GE1 (→FE→EE) the dot of the L.H. was omitted, which must be an oversight, since two previous dots were also overlooked. In turn, the absence of both dots in GE2 is a revision, probably based on a reasoning similar to ours. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |
