Dot & wedge in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Two wedges in GE3

Wedge & dot suggested by the editors

The articulation markings in these bars are questionable. We consider the dot over the last b1 in bar 275 to be a patent mistake – attenuating the energy contained in this characteristic, octave gesture opening the theme seems to be inconceivable. However, it is unclear whether and which note the dot was supposed to apply to – the potential candidates are the previous quaver (b3) and the 2nd quaver of bar 276 (e2), which are generally provided with staccato marks in the remaining appearances of the theme. In our proposal, we take into account usefulness of an added mark – in bar 276, it clarifies articulation, which does not naturally follow from the hand position like it is in the case of b​​​​​​​3, after which the hand must be moved quickly anyway. A similar solution was adopted in GE3; it can be considered an alternative to our proposal.
