The staccato dot added in GE (→FE) is an arbitrary decision of the engraver or a mistake. Two similar sequences in the R.H. part (bar 73 and 75), in which it is also the first, longer octave that is devoid of a dot, prove that it was also in this case that Chopin did not write this mark on purpose. The compliance of EE and IE with the A version can be explained by revisions aimed at standardising this bar after bar 73 and 75.
