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.

Dot in FE (→GE,EE)

In the main text, we suggest a wedge over both quavers in these bars, in accordance with the markings present in the majority of similar places.

The articulation markings of the first three quavers of this section are most probably inaccurate in FE (→EE). The addition introduced in GE, locally justified, seems to be inaccurate if we look at the eight-bar section, starting here, as a whole, e.g. due to the missing staccato mark over the last quaver in bar 480. In the main text, we unify the markings with the further part of this fragment, in which all quavers are consistently provided with dots.
