  b. 206-207

Staccato dot in bar 207 in A

No marks in FE (→GE,EE)

Dots suggested by the editors

We consider the missing staccato dot in b. 206 to be Chopin's inadvertence – there is no reason for the articulation of the crotchets in this bar to differ from the one indicated in A in b. 207. The absence of a dot in FE (→GE,EE) also in b. 207 must be an oversight by the engraver.
