4 staccato dots in A

2 dots in FE (→GE1,EE)

7 dots in GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
..

FE (→EE,GE1) overlooked the staccato dots over two quavers on the 2nd beat in the L.H. In the later GE, the dots were arbitrarily assigned to all F notes in this bar (cf. previous annotation).

The notation of accidentals in the R.H. arpeggio is not fully compliant with rules of the orthography. Chopin needlessly repeated  next to a2 on the 2nd beat, but forgot  before the last demisemiquaver (c1). The omitted accidental was added in EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4).
