One dot in JC

Four dots in EF & PE

In JC, only the highest note of the chord, d2, is prolonged with a dot. Chopin would often use such a notation, therefore, it cannot be excluded that it corresponds to the notation of [AI] and does not have to be a mistake. In the main text we give the unequivocal compatible version of EF and PE.
