We give the staccato marks in bar 323 (along with the 1st quaver in bar 324) and in bar 326 in the main text after A, although in this case they are not completely consistent:
- the 1st R.H. quaver in bars 323, 326 (and 329) is provided with a dot, whereas in the L.H. a staccato mark (wedge) appears only in bar 323;
- the g-b
thirds (in various octaves) in bars 323-324 are provided with dots, whereas Chopin marked the d-f thirds in bars 326-327 (and the a-c ones in bars 329-330) with wedges.
The versions of the editions, with wedges only, must be arbitrary; what is more, they are incomplete – in GE1 (→GE2→FESB) the marks were reproduced only at the beginning of bar 323 and in bar 326 (in FE and GE3 some of them were also overlooked). In EE the marks on the 2nd and 3rd beats of bar 326 were overlooked, while wedges were added at the beginning of bar 324 and in the L.H. in bar 326.
