Slur & wedge in A

Staccato dot in FE (→GE1,EE)

No signs in GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

It is hard to determine whether the omission of the additional slur visible in A was intentional. Similarly, the status of replacing the wedge with a staccato dot is also uncertain. In the main text we adopt the version of FE (→GE1,EE), which is compliant with the notation of bars 37-38 and was potentially accepted by Chopin at the time of proofreading FE. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) the dot was omitted.
