Dot and wedge in A

No marks in GE1 (→FEEE)

Dots in both hands in GE2

Omission of both staccato signs is certainly a result of distraction of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE). The omission of the wedge also changed the meaning of the curvy line combining both – the motivic slur transformed into a tie. It was observed only in GE2, yet, despite additions, the version of this edition only partially corresponds to Chopin's intention.
