In the main text we suggest adding a wedge over f3. The next two such marks indicate the way the notes ending particular semiquaver groups should be played, both in this and the next bar, hence the omission of a respective mark over the first note of this kind must be considered an inaccuracy of notation. A wedge was also added in EE, whereas in GE the second mark was also overlooked, over a2. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in GE |

The missing mark in EE is most probably an oversight. By contrast, the change of the wedge to a staccato dot in GE resulted from general revision carried out in this edition – see the note in bar 7. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , GE revisions |

In FE the second rhythmic group in the L.H. part is provided neither with a slur nor with a wedge, which is either the engraver's oversight or Chopin's inadvertence. The marks were added in GE and EE, yet in GE the wedge was changed to a staccato dot as part of general revision – see the note in bar 20. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

Two kinds of staccato markings present in FE (→EE), wedges and dots, very typical of Chopin in that period, were reduced by GE to one kind in the entire Variations – dots. This is what occurred in this bar: the wedge under the d1-f1 third in FE (→EE) was changed to a staccato dot in GE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

We assume that the wedge in FE (→EE) was supposed to refer to both octaves or that the other one was forgotten. However, this articulation should undoubtedly be implemented by both hands, hence in the main text we suggest the supplemented FE text (→EE). The absence of the mark in GE is most probably an oversight.
