According to us, the missing staccato marks over the quavers in the 1st half of the bar must be considered an inaccuracy of notation:
- if Chopin had wanted a different articulation in this place, he would have certainly marked the change, which appears on the seventh appearance of this motif;
- all the remaining markings – slurs, accents, dynamic hairpins and even wedges in bars 93 and 95 were included (in an identical or very similar form). Therefore, an intentional simplification of notation is out of the question.
