Issues : Wedges

b. 39

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Dots in GC (→GE)

No marks in FE1

Wedges in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4)

..

[A] most probably included wedges, as Gutmann considered them to be staccato dots on a number of occasions (cf., e.g., the Etude in F major, Op. 25 No. 3, bars 49-52). Chopin wedges were actually often misinterpreted as dots also by the engravers, in turn, misinterpretation of dots as wedges was almost inexistent. Therefore, in the main text we give wedges, added in FE2 (→EE,FE3FE4) most probably on the basis of [A].

b. 91

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

Wedge in GC

No mark in FE (→EE) & GE1

Dot in GE2

..

The wedge in GC is very clear, so both the omission of the sign in GE1 and the fact of replacing it with a dot in GE2 are surprising.
