11 dots in A

16 dots in GE

15 dots in FE (→EE)

Generalising staccato dots to all semiquavers is almost certainly an arbitrary decision of GE (→FEEE). It is proved by the original slurring of A in which the slur embraced only three groups of semiquavers: the ones with dots. According to us, it points to interconnected indications, which is quite frequent in Chopin's works; in this way, Chopin would indicate a milder or more delicate articulation than the common staccato. At the same time, the original slur confirms that according to Chopin's intention, the described performance manner concerned only 11 notes.
