Staccato dots in A, probable interpretation |
|

|
The staccato marks with which Chopin provided in A nine quavers constituting – along with the accents and slurs – a phrase separated from the figuration are heterogeneous. Three of them resemble wedges, three – dots, the remaining ones also dots, but carelessly written. As there is no visible reason to differentiate between them, to the main text we adopt dots. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the marks were reproduced as wedges, perhaps after comparing this fragment with analogous bars 104-107. This version, after including the correction introduced by IE, which was the only one to move the second wedge in bar 313 to its right position, can be considered an equal variant.
