staccato in FEcor

Slur in GE

In the main text we give the staccato dots written by Chopin in FEcor. The dots were omitted in FE (→EE) and in GE both octaves were combined with a slur. The authenticity of the latter is unclear – seeing the previous slurs, the reviser of GE could have considered the lack of slur over the last pair of crotchets as an oversight.
