b. 310

in GE

No sign in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we include the  mark present in GE. See b. 314-326.

b. 310

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

3 staccato dots

3 wedges in GE1 (→EE,FE1→FE2, →GE2→FESB)

6 wedges in GE3
..

The wedges in the editions resulted from the engraver of GE1 having misinterpreted the authentic dots. In GE3 wedges were arbitrarily added over the chords too (cf. bar 305).

b. 310

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

in A

in GE1 (→GE2,EE,FE1→FE2)

in FESB

No sign in GE3
..

The differences in the range of the  hairpin resulted from routine revisions, adjusting the marks to rhythmic structures or beams – in GE1 (→GE2,EE,FE) on the left-hand side, while in FESB also on the right-hand side. The absence of the mark in GE3 is an oversight by the engraver. In the main text we reproduce the mark of A.

b. 310

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

 &  in A (→GE) & EE2

in FE (→EE1)
..

The difference in the position of  between A and FE suggests that this indication did not get into FE on the basis of A (through [FC]), but was added independently to A and to FE or [FC]. It should be noted that each version is an element of an authentic, different concept of performing this theme (already from bar 290), quite consistently differentiated between A and FE.

b. 310

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Wedge & staccato dot in A

2 dots in GE

No marks in FE (→EE)
..

The staccato marks for the right and the left hands were probably added by Chopin to A later (after [FC] had been finished), like many other indications in this fragment. In GE the wedge over the R.H. chord was considered a carelessly written dot, which is very frequent in the B & H editions.
