b. 46
In the entire fragment of the recitative nature, Chopin generally writes articulation markings separately for each hand. The missing staccato dots in the L.H. at the end of the bar is one of the exceptions, probably resulting from inaccuracy. In the editions the dots were overlooked in the R.H. too, which could have been a consequence of Chopin's proofreading. Taking into account a possibility of the engraver's mistake, in the main text we adhere to the version of A, adding dots also in the L.H.
If in bar 45 the version with the harmonic accompaniment was chosen, one of two first source versions is to be selected here.
