b. 11

		Wedge in A & EE
		No marks in FC (→GE)
		Two wedges in FE
		Our variant suggestion

Adding the second wedge under this chord in FE seems to be an argument for an intention to leave this sign. On the other hand, Chopin did not add it in FC, as he probably did with the wedges in bar 16. Therefore, in the main text we leave the inclusion of this sign at the discretion of the performer.
