The staccato sign in EE and GC (→GE) is doubtless authentic. In our main text we give the wedge recorded in GC, as publishers often replaced Chopin's wedges with dots, considering the former to be inaccurate or hasty renditions of the latter (this was a rule for GE, cf. e.g. a characteristic of the B&H edition in the Nocturne in D
major Op. 27 no. 2).
