  b. 194-196

Staccato dot in A (→FC→GE1)

No marks in FE (→EE) & GE2

3 dots in GE3

As in b. 186 and 188, we regard the staccato dot in b. 194 as a remnant of an original version, presumably removed during the proofreading of FE (→EE). The mark was also omitted in GE2, while GE3 not only restored it but also arbitrarily added dots in b. 195-196.
