Staccato dot to e in GE

3 staccato dots to a1 in FE (→EE)

4 dots suggested by the editors

Compared to analogous b. 87-88, in these bars the staccato articulation of the quavers is much less carefully marked in the sources. However, we can be certain that Chopin did not mean a different performance here, as the dots of GE and FE are complementary, since, when combined, they result in the same set of marks as used the first time. The differences, in turn, are most probably a result of inaccuracies of the engravers, the copyist or Chopin himself.
