A long accent in A

A short accent in GE (→FE→EE)
..

A long accent at the beginning of the bar is very clear in A, having a characteristic shape and a typical size. Nevertheless, a short accent was printed in GE (→FE→EE).

A staccato dot in A

The dot missing in  GE (→FE→EE)

The lack of the dot in GE (→FE→EE) is probably due to oversight on the part of the engraver.

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

A staccato crotchet in A (→GE→FE)

A staccato semiquaver in EE
..

In EE, the staccato dot was erroneously placed over the semiquaver b flat1 instead of placing it above the crotchet.

b. 6

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

..

In this place, the staccato sign has the form of a short, thin line, differing from the usual dots.  Comparison with analogous places (bars 8, 14, 18 and similar) suggests inaccurate notation of A (uncontrolled hand movement). The same remarks apply to the signs in bars 16 and 23 on the same page.
