  b. 141-173

No marks in A (→FCGE)

Wedge in bar 165 in FE (→EE1EE2)

Dot & wedge in EE3

4 wedges suggested by the editors

4 dots, our alternative suggestion

In b. 141, 149, 165 and 173 separate staccato markings for the L.H. chords are featured only in b. 141 (dot) in EE3 and in b. 165 (wedge) in FE (→EE). Only the latter could have come from Chopin; however, such a separate addition seems to be highly unlikely. According to us, it rather points to a mistake of the engraver. In spite of lacking source basis, in order to avoid doubts, in the main text we suggest adding the markings featured in the R.H. to the notation of the L.H.
