Wedge in bar 321 in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE

Wedges in bars 320-321 suggested by the editors

The presence of wedge only for the second time (in bar 321), as it is in FE (→EE), is to be considered an inaccuracy, according to us. Chopin put the mark in this bar perhaps due to the missing hand transfer, but even then, it would not mean that he envisaged a different articulation for the 1st quaver in bar 320. However, most probably, the difference came into being by accident, as a result of inadvertence of Chopin himself or of the engraver. Taking that into account, in the main text we add a wedge in bar 320. An overlooked wedge also in bar 321 is most probably a mistake of GE.
