Wedge in AI

Dot in FE (→GE,EE)
..

According to us, the dot in FE (→GE,EE) does not give certainty as to which sign Chopin used to mark staccato in [A]. The Etudes and other pieces provide numerous examples of inaccurate interpretation of Chopin wedges.

The slurs written in AI in the part of the R.H. most probably concern also the semiquavers in the L.H., which, in FE (→GE,EE) was explicitly marked.
