Staccato dots in Atut & GE3

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

..

The notation of Atut may be misleading – there is a delicate trace of ink caused by the quill's transfer between the staccato dots, which the engraver of FE considered a slur. The revision in GE3 was most probably performed on the basis of analogy with the following bars.

In the main text, we give the staccato dots after Atut. In FE (→EE), the marks were misplaced (they were placed under the 2nd and 3rd octaves). In GE, the whole was deemed to be a mistake and both dots were removed.

Dots & slur in EE

Dots suggested by the editors

..

The missing articulation markings in bar 48 in FE (→GE) must be an oversight – in Atut, there is only one staccato dot, which could have easily escaped the attention of the engraver. It is also unclear whether the absence of indications for the 2nd and 3rd octaves means that Chopin wanted to repeat the articulation scheme of bar 46 or whether he wanted staccato to be continued. The reviser of EE adopted the first interpretation; however, he repeated the erroneous marking of FE (→EE) from bar 46. The editors of mUltimate Chopin incline towards the second, less obvious possibility.

No marks in GE

..

The missing staccato dot for the octave in the L.H. must be an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE). In GE, the dot in the R.H. was also overlooked.
