Slurs in AsI

Staccato dots in A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)

The slurs in AsI – the only performance markings in this variation together with the wedge over c2 in b. 114 – could have a rhythmic (triplet slurs) or a motivic meaning. Anyways, Chopin abandoned them in the published version; instead, he wrote here staccato dots, which in GE1 and in the remaining editions were routinely replaced with wedges.
