Staccato mark in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

The missing staccato sign is certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. In the sign written in A one could also see a wedge; however, we assume – as it was done in GE2 – that Chopin meant the same sign in both hands (the dot in the R.H. is beyond any doubt).
