  b. 13-17

2 staccato dots in A (→FEEE)

1 staccato dot in GE1

3 staccato dots in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5)

In A Chopin most probably introduced a staccato dot for the 1st quaver in the L.H. in bar 13 and certainly in bar 17. Both signs were included in FE. As bar 15 is generally a repetition of bar 13, the absence of the dot in the analogous place can be considered Chopin's oversight. In turn, as a result of an unquestionable oversight of the engraver, in GE1 there is no dot in bar 17 – the sign was already in FE. To the main text we adopt the complete articulation of GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5).
