  b. 579-580

2 staccato dots in A (→FC)

No marks in FE (→EE)

4 staccato dots in GE

3 staccato dots, our alternative suggestion

In the main text we preserve the version of A (→FC), since there are no indications that Chopin was removing dots in FE or adding them in GE. However, it is uncertain whether the missing dot in b. 580 was intentional, since the bar opens a new line of text, which would often contribute to various inaccuracies of notation.
