Wedges in A

In the main text we give the wedges written in A. Their absence in FE (→GE,EE) is almost certainly a result of the engraver's negligence. The signs prove that Chopin wanted to preserve the pulsation compatible with the regular metric and rhythmic flow. It is also the different direction of the beams in the pairs of semiquavers at the transitions between bars 47-48 and 49-50 that underline the special meaning of these figures (in A Chopin deleted the already correct beams only to change their direction).
