The missing articulation markings in bar 48 in FE (→GE) must be an oversight – in Atut, there is only one staccato dot, which could have easily escaped the attention of the engraver. It is also unclear whether the absence of indications for the 2nd and 3rd octaves means that Chopin wanted to repeat the articulation scheme of bar 46 or whether he wanted staccato to be continued. The reviser of EE adopted the first interpretation; however, he repeated the erroneous marking of FE (→EE) from bar 46. The editors of mUltimate Chopin incline towards the second, less obvious possibility.
