No staccato sign in A (→GE1) or EE

A dot in FE

A dot in GE2 (→GE3)

A wedge suggested by the editors

The quaver a flat does not have any staccato sign in A (→GE1), which seems to be an oversight in this context. When proofing FE, Chopin added a dot above that note. In our opinion, at that stage of processing the text of the Mazurka  Chopin was no longer free to choose between two types of staccato signs (see note to bars 92-93). Therefore we suggest a wedge in this place, in accordance with the markings used by the composer in the following bars in A, and also in the analogous bar 75.

The dot was also added in GE2 (→GE3), while in EE the dot added in FE was disregarded.
