Four tritones in the L.H. are devoid of articulation markings in the sources. According to us, it is a result of the layout, in which those quavers are placed on the top stave under the semiquavers in the R.H. – even if Chopin managed to squeeze them between both parts in [A], the engraver could have considered it impossible to reproduce such a notation in print. In subsequent bars, respective dyads are already provided with staccato dots; therefore, in the main text we mark these four quavers in the same way. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

Although not all uneven quavers in FE (→GE1→GE2) are provided with staccato dots (the marks are absent in the 1st half of bar 404 and in the 2nd half of bar 405), there is no doubt that the defects are to be attributed to Chopin's or the engraver's inaccuracies. EE added dots, while GE3 removed the dot in bar 404 and added one in bar 405. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

The missing dots in GE are most probably an oversight, although it cannot be ruled out that the markings were added in the last proofreading of FE – cf. bar 430. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE |
quavers certainly does not mean that their articulation changes with respect to the previous two bars. Either Chopin considered the previous four dots to be enough, considering the homogenous texture, or he or the engraver forgot about those markings. Yet another possibility is discussed in the adjacent
