R.H. wedges in A

4 staccato dots in FC (→GE) & EE

3 dots in FE

4 wedges suggested by the editors

In this bar Chopin again marked the articulation of the chords only over the R.H. part. As the performance cannot differ from the one in b. 13-14, in the main text we add marks also under the L.H. chords. Such a solution was adopted both by FC (→GE) and FE (→EE).
In FE, the missing mark for the 1st R.H. chord must be an oversight of the engraver.
Both FC (→GE) and FE (→EE) interpreted the marks of A as staccato dots. Although they are not as pronounced as those in b. 9-12 or 14 (the R.H. mark), we consider them to be wedges.
