Wedge in bar 284 in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

No mark in GE3

Wedges in bars 284-286 suggested by the editors

The absence of the wedge in GE3, purposeful or accidental, indicates the need to authenticate the single mark in FE (→EE,GE1GE2). Therefore, in the main text, we suggest wedges also in the next two bars, materialising the model's idea Chopin most probably had at the time of inserting the mark in bar 284. An identical piano grip and repeated  marks leave no doubt as to the performance manner of those broken chords, i.e. each time the same.
