Minim f in GC (→GE1)

Dotted minim in FE & EE

Dotted crotchet in GE2 (→GE3)

Lack of the dot extending the f minim in GC (→GE1) seems to be the copyist's error – in analogous bar 70 GC has a dot, it is also in both bars both in FE and EE. The version of GE2 (→GE3) is logic, yet in order to be considered compatible with Chopin's intention, one should assume that in both bars the composer committed a patent mistake in a simple situation (differently than in bar 46).
