3 staccato dots in A & FE (→EE)

No marks in GE1

2 dots in GE2

The sophisticated articulation marking – legato in the top voice of the octaves and staccato in the bottom one – was only partially reproduced in GE1. In the proofreading of FE (→EE), Chopin restored staccato in the bottom voice. Two out of three dots were added also in GE2.
