The octave in the R.H. is provided in FE (→EE) with a wedge in bar 25 and with a dot in bar 26. It is probably a result of misunderstanding of the notation of [A] (perhaps inaccurate). In GE1 (→GE1a) in both places there are dots, moreover, a dot was added – most probably by mistake – also over the octave in the L.H. It is hard to assume whether the omission of the signs in the R.H. in the subsequent GE is a result of a revision or of a mistake.

Dot in FE (→GE,EE)

..

According to us, the dot in FE (→GE,EE) does not give certainty as to which sign Chopin used to mark staccato in [A]. The Etudes and other pieces provide numerous examples of inaccurate interpretation of Chopin wedges.
