Our alternative variant suggestion |
One or two wedges between these bars are probably in A. The mark in bar 237 was certainly entered as a wedge, yet the one in bar 236 could be simply a part of the wavy line used by Chopin to mark the range of an octave sign. This wavy line also intersects the wedge in bar 237, which could have been intentional if Chopin had wanted to abandon these marks. The first editions did not include the wedges. In the main text we provide the unquestionable wedge in bar 237 in a variant form (in brackets); at the same time, we suggest an alternative solution (also in brackets), that is both potential wedges. A single wedge is supported by a similar fragment in the exposition, in which a staccato mark is to be seen only over the final chord of the sequence (in bar 73).
