The slurs in AsI – the only performance markings in this variation together with the wedge over c2 in b. 114 – could have a rhythmic (triplet slurs) or a motivic meaning. Anyways, Chopin abandoned them in the published version; instead, he wrote here staccato dots, which in GE1 and in the remaining editions were routinely replaced with wedges. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

In the main text we keep the different staccato markings visible in A – wedges at the beginning of the bar and dots over the chords. In the editions, as in many other places – see, e.g. variation IV or the finale – all markings were reproduced as wedges (however, in b. 153 the dots under the slur remained dots). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

As was the case with b. 114-115, Chopin provided the repeated notes in b. 186 and 190 with staccato dots, and not with wedges, as it was reproduced by GE (→FE,EE,FESB). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

As in many other places (see e.g. bars 271-272), the engraver of GE1 ignored the differentiation of staccato marks and replaced the dots with wedges. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

The addition of markings to the L.H. part seems justified and could be coming from Chopin as such. According to us, however, it does not mean that the dots entered into A should be changed to wedges – the markings added in a proof copy (perhaps by Chopin) were either misinterpreted or the person who added them (perhaps Chopin) used wedges to match the already printed wedges. Therefore, in the main text we include the added markings; however, we keep the differences between them modelled after the authentic markings in the R.H. part and in a certain sense confirmed by the L.H. dots in A in bar 208. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE , Wedges |
