b. 30

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt II

2 staccato dots in A, contextual interpretation

2 wedges in A, possible interpretation

Staccato dot in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

In A it is unclear whether the two staccato marks are to be interpreted as dots or wedges. We assume that they are dots due to the clear dot in the preceding bar. This is how the second mark – the first one was omitted – was interpreted in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

Wedge in A

No mark in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

In A the wedge over the R.H. crotchet on the 2nd beat of the bar blends in with the line of the octave sign, which almost certainly was the reason this mark was omitted in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

L.H.  in A

No sign in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

..

As was the case with dimin., the absence of a  hairpin for the L.H. is probably a revision by GE (→FE,EE,IE) – the engraver could have considered one of the two actually identical  marks to be superfluous.

b. 34-36

No marks in A (→GEEE,IE)

Staccato dots in FE

..

The staccato dots added in FE on the 3rd beat of each of these bars – in bar 34 and 36 in the R.H., in bar 35 in the L.H. – are an arbitrary addition, without their counterparts in analogous bars 1-4 (the R.H. dots could have been repeated after a similar motif in bar 12).

between staves in A

 above upper staff in EE

..

Replacing the Chopinesque  hairpin by two marks under and over the text was an arbitrary decision by GE (→FE,IE), probably inspired by the arrangement of the dynamic hairpins in the previous bars. The omission of the bottom mark in EE seems to be an oversight.
