We give sign in the main text according to A. In GE (→FE) the sign is reproduced somewhat inaccurately, and in EE it is yet shortened. In AI, as in bar 11, there is no hairpin.

Dots in AI

No dots in A (→GE→FE→EE)
..

In A (→GE→FE→EE) Chopin decided not to have the staccato dots in bar 35. Those dots had been earlier written in AI in bar 11, of which bar 35 is a repetition in AI. See bar 11.

b. 36

composition: Op. 24 No. 3, Mazurka in A♭ major

No mark in AI

A wedge in A

A dot in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The first editions have a staccato dot instead of a wedge written in A. Such an inaccuracy is characteristic of GE (→FE→EE) throughout the entire Mazurka. AI does not have any mark here.
