Staccato dots in FE (→EE) & GE3

dot & wedge in GE1 (→GE2)

Wedges – our alternative suggestion
..

The wedge in GE1 (→GE2) is most probably a mistake. On the other hand, one can ponder whether it could be the dots that were printed in FE by mistake in place of wedges. The main theme of this movement, out of which the motif of this and the next bar is derived, was being provided with both types of markings throughout the entire movement, yet in this fragment it is generally wedges that prevail; we can observe them, e.g. next to the bass notes in bars 386-388 and next to a chord in the R.H. in bar 387.

Wedge in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

2 staccato dots in GE3

2 wedges suggested by the editors
..

The missing wedge over the 2nd chord is most probably an oversight of FE, repeated in the majority of the remaining editions. The only exception is GE3, in which both chords are provided with dots like in the previous bar.

No markings in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

    in GE3

[   ] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding pedalling markings, since there is no doubt that this bar should be performed in the same manner as the previous one. The markings were added already in GE3.

..

In FE, there is no accidental before the 2nd chord. The inaccuracy was corrected in the remaining editions by adding a ​​​​​​​ before the top note (d3) in GE1 (→GE2) and EE and before the bottom one in GE3. The difference can be explained by the fact that it is only in GE3 that the 1st chord of the bar is written without octave sign.
