b. 87

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

No mark in GC (→GE) & EE

Dot in FE

Our variant suggestion
..

The staccato dot could have been added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (or still in the base text to this edition), perhaps together with the pedalling. Taking into account the differences in indications at the beginning of this bar present in the sources, in the main text we leave the inclusion of the dot at the performer's discretion.

b. 96

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Staccato dots in GC, FE & EE

No marks in FE1

Wedges in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Lack of staccato signs in GE1 is most probably an oversight, yet the wedges added in GE2 (→GE3) – incompatible with the distinct dots of GC and of the remaining sources – correct this mistake only partially.
