Issues : Wedges

b. 222

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Wedge in FE (→EE)

Dot in GE

..

The change of the wedge to a staccato dot is probably a revision of GE, in which the wedge, absent both in the preceding R.H. and L.H. figures and in the identical figure in b. 226, was considered a mistake. Indeed, a mistake of the engraver of FE at the time of interpreting [A] cannot be ruled out; however, since the repetition of this fragment (b. 242) is also provided with a wedge in FE, we keep this version, probably authentic.

b. 242

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

Wedge in FE

Dot in GE & EE

..

The version of GE is most probably a result of a revision, which, however, does not rule out the possibility that it could be compliant with Chopin's intention – see the note in b. 222.
