Taking into account the e
and f minims in the preceding bar and the absence of pedal markings, we assume that the most likely scenario is that the FE engraver mistook the crotchet stems (pointing upwards) prolonging g and g for wedges. In the main text we also move the legato indication, in this context most probably meant to indicate "harmonic legato". GE replacing wedges by staccato dots is a part of revision, encompassing the entire Variations – see the note in bar 7. The missing marks in EE are due to an oversight or revision.
