There is no reason to underline here the discontinuity of particular motifs with staccato marks modelled after the preceding two bars – although the hand needs to be moved, the two-bar slur encompassing this entire passage shows that Chopin wanted the phrase to be cohesive (this phrase only seemingly refers to the preceding one). In the main text we do not include the staccato dots introduced by GE (→FE,EE,IE).
