It is unclear whether the staccato markings with which Chopin provided the R.H. chords in b. 141, 149, 165 and 173 are to be interpreted as wedges or dots. The mark in b. 165 must be a wedge, whereas those in b. 141 and 173 – dots (in b. 149 the mark can be interpreted either as a wedge or a dot); however, it seems unlikely that Chopin would have wanted to differentiate between those marks within the theme. In the main text we suggest wedges due to the predominance of wedges in a similar situation in b. 9, 17, 33 and 41, where we also discuss the analogous places in the entire Scherzo. All discrepancies in the remaining sources are of an accidental nature; in GE they were combined with unifying procedures.
