The inaccurate reproduction of the long accents, very frequent in the Concerto and other pieces by Chopin, is very likely in this context. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest this kind of accents. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |

The accents in EE were added most probably on the basis of both analogous bars 292-293 and adjacent bars 307 and 310. In the main text, we suggest a similar addition; however, we apply long accents, just like in the remaining bars. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , EE revisions |

denotes a local dynamic climax, after which one should rather expect a diminuendo, not to mention a crescendo on one note, problematic to perform on the piano. Therefore, we are probably dealing with an inaccuracy or even a mistake. One can imagine two possibilities – the mark was misplaced (e.g. moved to the right with respect to the notation of [A]) or reversed. In the main text, we are inclined to agree with the first possibility due to a similarly distorted 
, performing this motif 
could easily deprive it of clarity. Due to this reason, we assume that the marks represent accents.
