b. 79-94

composition: Op. 30, Mazurka in D♭ major

12 staccato dots in FC

15 dots in FE

12 dots in GE1

13 dots in EE

16 dots in GE2
..

We give the staccato dots for the bass notes after FE, which is more accurate in this respect than FC (we add the only dot omitted by FE in bar 93 after FC). In GE1 and EE the versions of FC and FE, respectively, were inaccurately reproduced. All dots were added only in GE2.
