According to us, the wedges with which the accompanying chords in the L.H. were provided in FE (→GE,EE) are a result of misunderstanding the notation of Atut in bars 26-27, where the repeated chords are written in an abbreviated manner as minims with quaver tremolos. Willing to draw the attention to this abbreviation, Chopin marked the individual quavers with dashes, which he then tried to transform into dots, generally used for this purpose. This measure turned out ineffective, whereas the engraver (reviser?) not only included the wedges, in spite of renouncing the abbreviation, but he also propagated wedges in bar 25. However, since the wedges do not mark articulation, they are superfluous and misleading in a notation that does not make use of abbreviations. Taking into account the above considerations, we do not include them in the main text. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Corrections in A , Wedges , Inaccuracies in A |

The change of the staccato mark from a wedge to a dot is a frequent revision (inaccuracy?) of GE in this Concerto and other works published by Kistner – cf. e.g. bar 92. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

The pronounced wedge written in Atut (→FE→EE) was reproduced in GE as a dot, which is a typical revision (inaccuracy?) of these editions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Wedges |

In Atut, the first third in this bar is provided with two staccato marks – a dot under the notes and a wedge over them. Chopin perhaps put the second mark sometime after the first one, which he did not notice when reviewing the manuscript. However, it is uncertain which of the marks was "first." In the main text, we decided to put the wedge, more frequently used by Chopin in that period of his life in similar situations. In FE (→EE), there is a dot, which was probably overlooked in GE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Wedges |
