The staccato signs at the beginning of bars 146 and 148 are written in A inconsistently – in bar 146 the sign is only in the R.H., whereas in bar 148 – in both. The kind of the employed sign in bar 146 can also raise doubts, yet clear wedges in bar 148 speak in favour of a wedge. We add a fourth wedge (bar 146, L.H.) in the main text, since Chopin wrote staccato signs in similar situations in bars 150, 154 and 156 in the parts of both hands. No signs in bar 146 is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), whereas the interpretation of all employed signs as dots must be an inaccuracy of the editions.
