  b. 117

No mark in A (→FCGE1, →FEEE)

Staccato dot in GE2 (→GE3)

It is difficult to say conclusively whether leaving the R.H. chord without staccato dot was intended by Chopin. The dot in the L.H. and the presence of a dot in analog. b. 249 are an argument in favour of Chopin having overlooked the marking. However, on the other hand, the crotchets in b. 119, 121, 123 and 125, which can be considered analogous, are devoid of dots, in spite of the fact that the corresponding bass notes are provided with dots. According to us, an inaccuracy is more likely in this case (cf. the previous note on slurs); therefore, in the main text we give a dot. The mark was also added in GE2 (→GE3).
