The omitted R.H. articulation markings in GE (→FE,EE,IE) could have resulted from the uncertainty to the range of the slurs and to the presence and kind of the staccato marks. In A in many places Chopin would shorten slurs whenever it was impossible to enter them conveniently (cf. I mov., bars 17-20), hence the engraver could have hesitated between a slur encompassing 3 or 2 notes. The lonely (in spite of a few similar figures) staccato mark could have also been questionable. In the main text we provide the literal interpretation of these marks. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors in GE , Wedges |

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor
..
The difference between dots and wedges in A is very clear, yet it was not included in FE (→GE). Taking into account numerous inaccuracies of the notation of staccato marks in FE, we give preference to the detailed indications of A. In EE all dots were omitted. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE , Authentic corrections of FE , Wedges |

The missing staccato mark in A seems to be Chopin's inadvertence, as he overlooked the first chord, separated from the remaining ones by the treble clef and positioned much higher than the following ones. In the main text we include the addition introduced already by GE (→FE,EE,IE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Wedges , Inaccuracies in A |

composition: Op. 24 No. 2, Mazurka in C major
..
An evident wedge in A was reproduced in GE (→FE) as a dot (in GE, wedges were not used even once throughout the Mazurkas Op. 24). In EE, the sign was omitted. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in EE , Wedges |

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

The wedge in GC is very clear, so both the omission of the sign in GE1 and the fact of replacing it with a dot in GE2 are surprising. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Wedges |
