In FEcor Chopin very carefully marked the staccato articulation in the part of the L.H., cf., e.g., the remarks concerning bars 1-7 or 9-17. Therefore, we assume that the lack of dots at the beginning of these bars corresponds to his intention (see bar 45). The marks in Ap are one of numerous detailed performance markings intended – as it seems – only for the use of the addressee of this autograph.
