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). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

In spite of the clear difference in the length of the accents in b. 118, 120, 122 and 124 visible in A, in the main text we give a unified notation with four short accents, which are more natural in these brilliant, virtuoso passages. At the same time, it is compliant with the notation of the principal source, i.e. FC, although it seems unlikely that Chopin could have interfered with the notation of the copy here. The absence of the last mark in FE (→EE) is an oversight, whereas the shorter first accent in EE – an inaccuracy or revision. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Long accents , Errors in FE , EE inaccuracies , Inaccuracies in FC |
