Without dots in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Dots in GE2 (→GE3)

In GE2 (→GE3), staccato dots were added under bass notes A flat. We consider the addition lacking grounds here, as Chopin used a dot to separate the bass lowered by an octave in bar 77 from among five consecutive bars (75-79) based on the A flat7 chord.
