b. 208
In A the entire indication concerning articulation and dynamics is written in an abridged form in the upbeat – sempre stacc. e . If we were to take into account its meaning, it is highly likely that such a position was driven by the lack of space between the staves (in addition, it cannot be ruled out that Chopin added sempre stacc. to , written earlier).
The editions retained this position; however, the layout of the text was changed and the abbreviations written out in full or some words were abbreviated again:
Taking into account the above, in the main text we write out the abbreviations in full and put the entire indication in a single line, in the upbeat and bar 1.
