It is unclear whether Chopin wanted the first quavers in this bar to be provided with wedges, as it is in A, or dots, which were printed in FE (→GE,EE). Taking into account numerous inaccuracies in reproducing Chopin's wedges, in the main text we give preference to the notation of A.

b. 17

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

No mark in A

Wedge in FE (→GE1,EE)

Dot in GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
..

In A Chopin omitted the staccato mark in the middle of bar 17, probably due to corrections. We consider the wedge added in a proofreading of FE (→GE1,EE) to be a binding indication of Chopin's intention in this respect. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) the wedge was replaced with a dot.

b. 48

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

Wedge in A (→FE→EE,GE1→GE2)

Dot in GE3 (→GE4)
..

Change of the type of the staccato mark in GE3 (→GE4) is certainly non-authentic.
