In the main text we add a staccato dot, since the missing staccato in this place is most probably an inaccuracy – Chopin indicated short articulation in all three analogous b. 344, 438 & 446. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The staccato mark in A, despite its smallness, is clearly prolonged (vertically). Both Fontana in FC and the engraver of FE regarded it as a wedge. GE1 and EE changed it to a dot, which can be considered acceptable, taking into account the fact that both passage E major sections feature only dots except for this place, including in analogous b. 438 & 446. GE2 (→GE3) did not include the mark, which could easily be considered an oversight if it were not for the dot in analogous b. 446, which was also left out. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , EE inaccuracies , Wedges |

dynamic hairpins. Each of the marks was more or less 2 bars long. If the crossing-out was related to the addition of the leggiero indication, it would be a trace proving the change of concept of this fragment from a casually virtuoso one to a more delicate one, which would not disturb the lyrical, intimate mood of the previous C
minor section.
