Wedges in b. 348 in AsI

Staccato dots in A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

Wedges instead of dots over the octaves and the sequence of L.H. quavers played over the R.H. must have resulted from a revision by the engraver of GE1, who unified these marks in the entire finale of the Variations.
In AsI the marks are only in bar 348. It is uncertain which marks Chopin meant here – we assume that they are wedges.
