The staccato dot over the 1st octave was most probably added by Chopin in the base text to EE. According to us, the aim of its addition could have been a sui generis correction of a too early started slur – see the note above. Therefore, choosing the suggested by us alternative version of the slur, one does not have to take this dot into consideration.
