In the main text, we interpret four marks in these bars as long accents. Thus, we demonstrate the difference in indications with respect to analogous bars 100-103, in which similar marks are clearly longer and separated with repeated indications. After all, it is highly likely that different lengths of marks in [A] were not so regular or meaningful, since the Chopinesque hairpin, unless preceded with a mark, generally also indicates an accent. According to us, Chopin most probably meant both fragments to be performed in the same manner. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents |

Like in analogous bars 100-103, staccato dots are an arbitrary addition of the revision of GE3. That addition formed a part of a more comprehensive package of editorial measures encompassing performance indications of that Tutti (e.g. staccato dots were added over the repeated g1 semiquavers in bar 333). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

GE3 arbitrarily provided the last quaver in bar 335 and the first two in bars 336-337 with staccato dots (in the latter only in the R.H.). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

It is unclear which mark Chopin meant at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar. In FE, the mark resembles an accent (short or long), yet it cannot be ruled out that it was supposed to be a , although certainly not as long as in GE3. A natural performance contains both an accent and diminuendo, which is best conveyed in one mark by a long accent or a slightly different short diminuendo hairpin. A similar problem appears also in bars 390-391. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , GE revisions |

We suggest adding an accent on the 4th quaver in the bar on the basis of a comparison with analogous bar 368. Accentuating thirds gives passages a virtuoso touch and refers to the characteristic rhythm of krakowiak . The accent was added in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |
