3 wedges & dot in A, literal reading

4 dots in GE (→FE,IE)

2 dots in EE

4 wedges suggested by the editors

Although 3 out of four staccato marks entered into A are provided with the form of a wedge (as in the next bars), in GE (→FE,IE) they were reproduced as dots. The absence of two dots in EE cannot be easily explained – neither revision nor oversight are a reasonable ground. In the main text we provide 4 wedges due to the fact that they clearly prevail over dots in the A notation – in this and the next two bars Chopin wrote 9 wedges and one dot.
