One can ponder whether the placement of the staccato indication only just in the 2nd half of the bar is not an example of the Chopinesque manner of placing indications within their range of validity. In other words, whether one should not perform the entire chromatic sequence in this bar staccato. According to us, no – such placed indication most probably means that the first few notes are to be performed legato and then the articulation is to be gradually changed, so that the last few notes are clearly performed staccato. There is a similar situation in bar 532. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Centrally placed marks |

When interpreted literally, the mark in FE falls on a rest. This inaccuracy is most probably a result of a too literal reproduction of the notation of [A], in which Chopin could have not had enough space to write the mark between the bottom stave and the b semiquaver. In the main text, we assume, in accordance with GE and EE, that the mark concerns the beginning of the 2nd beat of the bar. The absence of in GE is most probably an oversight. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE |

The a tempo indication added in GE3, in spite of its evident accuracy, certainly does not come from Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The position of ritenuto in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), i.e. the end of bar 281, is probably erroneous:
A corresponding change was suggested already in GE3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |
