Slur ending in A

Slur ending in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In GE (→FE→EE), the slur ends above the 2nd quaver b1, clearly against the notation of A. This is one of the instances of inaccurate reproduction of A in GE1. Cf. the note to bar 6.

A dot in A (→GE1→FE) and EE3

No staccato sign in EE1 (→EE2), GE2 (→GE3)
..

The lack of the staccato sign in EE1 (→EE2) is certainly an error. The same inaccuracy in GE2 (→GE3) is puzzling, yet an accidental omission is also a plausible explanation here as well. The dot in EE3 was added on the basis of GE1, as the reviewer of  EE3 definitely availed himself of that German edition.
