Staccato dot in bar 40 in A1

No marks in FE (→EE)

Dots in bars 40-41 in GE

Just like in b. 9-10, the staccato dots under the bass notes come from [A2] (→GE). In A1 the dot is written in b. 40, yet it was not included in FE (→EE), probably considering the bar to have been written approximately: it opens the group of bars marked in an abridged manner as repetition of b. 9-27; Chopin wrote out only the L.H. part in that bar. Since the L.H. part is written here more accurately than in b. 9, in our transcription of A1 we include the more accurate markings, i.e. the dot and the arpeggio mark on the 2nd beat of the bar.
