Dots in bars 20, 23 & 24 suggested by the editors

Dots in bars 19-20 & 23-24

At the beginning of b. 19, 20, 23 and 24, the L.H. staccato dots appear irregularly in the sources. In the main text we give both dots present in AF both here (b. 20 and 24) and in the repetition of this fragment (b. 112 and 116). In addition, these are the only places in which the indication of staccato requires a mark, since the bass note does not fall together with the R.H. note provided with a dot. In the remaining places, particularly in the situations in which the R.H. notes are written together with the L.H. on the bottom stave (b. 19 and 21), the marks over the R.H. part also refer to the L.H. Due to the fact that Chopin moved the a quaver to the top stave in b. 23 in AF, we also include the dot in this bar written in AI (in AF, it is present in analogous b. 115). Our alternative suggestion takes into consideration all dots written in these bars in the preserved autographs.
