The missing indication in FE (→EE1) must be the engraver's oversight. Dynamic gradation is undoubtedly an integral part of the 16-bar section that ends here; as a result, the dynamics of the beginning of its repetition should be tantamount to sotto voce in b. 28. It is also confirmed by present in the next bar in FED. In EE2 the indication was probably repeated after GE. Moving it a quaver earlier was an arbitrary decision; however, it may comply with Chopin's intention, since he would sometimes place markings within the range of their scope, and not at the beginning. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE |

added by Chopin in FED confirms that the absence of in the preceding bar in FE was an oversight of the engraver. According to us, both indications, although neither of the sources contains both at the same time, are not mutually exclusive; what is more, they could be considered complementary. Therefore, in the main text we include the addition of FED in a variant form. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The placement of the indication is ambiguous in A – the mark is written close to the L.H. part (partially on the bottom stave), after the quaver rest at the beginning of the bar, hence it seems that it concerns the repeated a quavers. However, a more thorough analysis of the notation of A opens an alternative interpretive possibility – in relation to the R.H. part is written before the first chord, i.e. at the beginning of the bar. Moreover, the indication is preceded by a quite significant crossing-out (probably ), which makes it impossible to write more to the left. Taking into account the above, in the main text we put at the beginning of the bar as a general indication, concerning all voices. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: EE revisions , Errors of FC , Inaccuracies in A |
