In bars 36 and 38, Atut features only the sharps raising g to g. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in FE only in bar 36. In GE and EE, sharps were added also in bar 38.

In Atut (→FE), there is no  lowering f2 to f2. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in the remaining editions.

Slur from f2 in Atut & GE3

Slur from b1 in FE (→GE1→GE2) 

Slur from c2 in EE
..

The slur in FE (→GE1→GE2) was written carelessly – the beginning of the slur is placed at the pitch of the top voice, but it falls over the 2nd quaver in the bar. We assume the most straightforward interpretation, from the b1 quaver, to be the text of those editions. The version was revised both in EE and GE3; in the latter, in accordance with Atut.

Staccato dot in Atut

No marks in FE (→GE)

Dots & slur in EE

Dots suggested by the editors
..

The missing articulation markings in bar 48 in FE (→GE) must be an oversight – in Atut, there is only one staccato dot, which could have easily escaped the attention of the engraver. It is also unclear whether the absence of indications for the 2nd and 3rd octaves means that Chopin wanted to repeat the articulation scheme of bar 46 or whether he wanted staccato to be continued. The reviser of EE adopted the first interpretation; however, he repeated the erroneous marking of FE (→EE) from bar 46. The editors of mUltimate Chopin incline towards the second, less obvious possibility.

..

EE added a slur combining the F-f and B1-B octaves, certainly by analogy with bars 46-47.
