Rhythm and articulation in AI

Rhythm and articulation in A,
a wedge on e1

GE,
a dot on e1

FE (→EE),
no mark

In A (→GE→FE→EE), Chopin changed the RH rhythm and articulation of the 1st half of the bar as compared with AI. Identical rhythmic differences also occur in similar bars 10 & 12.

The staccato sign—a wedge in A—was reproduced inaccurately as a dot in GE, and omitted in FE (→EE).
