The two missing staccato dots in the R.H. at the beginning of the 2nd beat of the bar in GE is a mistake repeated most probably after the proof copy of FE. It is indicated by numerous traces of proofreading of slurring in FE – at the time of removing the original slur, which reached to the end of the 3rd semiquaver triplet only, the discussed dots were probably also removed (they are the closest to the original slur), which got to GE, while in FE it was completed in the last phase of proofreading. Cf. the note at the beginning of this bar.
The fact of removing the first two dots also in the L.H. is an arbitrary revision of GE3.
