b. 34

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

Wedge in AI

Dot in FE (→GE,EE)

..

According to us, the dot in FE (→GE,EE) does not give certainty as to which sign Chopin used to mark staccato in [A]. The Etudes and other pieces provide numerous examples of inaccurate interpretation of Chopin wedges.
