Wedge in FE (→EE)

Dot in GE

Differentiation between the staccato marks in FE (→EE) – a wedge in bar 111 and a dot in bar 113 – could have been intended by Chopin, although being deprived of access to [A], one cannot exclude a mistake in the manuscript's reproduction. Unification of the markings in GE is almost certainly an arbitrary revision; according to us, a possible use of wedges in both bars is much more likely, since young Chopin considered them the basic marking of staccato.
