Wedge in FE

2 wedges in GE1 (→GE2) & EE

2 dots in GE3

The missing wedge in the L.H. part is probably an oversight. Admittedly, we considered the wedge in bar 419, present only in the part of one of the hands, to be probably erroneous, yet in the case of the discussed bar there are not as many analogous situations allowing for comparisons (only bar 192), which leaves us without grounds to question the wedge in the R.H. featured in the sources. The accuracy of the change of wedges to dots in GE3 cannot be excluded – wedges do not appear among the staccato marks used in this theme by Chopin; nevertheless, according to us, it is not a sufficient argument to modify the version of the principal source.
