b. 88

Long accent in FE

Hairpin in GE

Short accent in EE
..

As in bar 84, the long accent in FE was interpreted in opposite way in GE and EE.

b. 93

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Hairpin in FE (→EE)

b. 98-99

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Beginning of hairpin in bar 98 in FE

Beginning of hairpin in bar 99 in GE & EE
..

In the main text, we reproduce the hairpin of FE, probably conveying Chopin's notation in [A] in the most faithful manner. Both GE and EE slightly shortened the mark, shifting its beginning under the first note in bar 99.

b. 99

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Accent suggested by the editors
..

An accent appears in an identical context in bar 251. According to us, it is not supposed to suggest a different performance; it is simply a result of a more precise marking of that bar. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest an accent also here.

b. 108-110

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Staccato dots in FE (→GE)
..

The missing 3 staccato dots for the bass E in bars 108-110 in EE are probably an oversight of the engraver.
