Wedge in Atut, contextual interpretation

Dot in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE

In Atut, the first third in this bar is provided with two staccato marks – a dot under the notes and a wedge over them. Chopin perhaps put the second mark sometime after the first one, which he did not notice when reviewing the manuscript. However, it is uncertain which of the marks was "first." In the main text, we decided to put the wedge, more frequently used by Chopin in that period of his life in similar situations. In FE (→EE), there is a dot, which was probably overlooked in GE.
