  b. 45

Staccato dot in A (→FC,FE)

No mark in GE

2 dots in EE

The missing staccato dot over the f4 quaver is an oversight of the engraver of GE, and the second one added over the L.H. quaver – a revision of EE (in such type of texture Chopin would often regard the articulation markings – dots, slurs – written over the R.H. part as applying to both parts).
