In A (→GE→FE→EE), Chopin changed the RH rhythm and articulation of the 1st half of the bar as compared with AI. Identical rhythmic differences also occur in similar bars 10 & 12.

The staccato sign—a wedge in A—was reproduced inaccurately as a dot in GE, and omitted in FE (→EE).

AI has even crotchets in the 2nd part of the bar. It is probably an original rhythmic version of this and analogous bars—cf. the vertical alignment of the RH and LH notes in bar 4 in both AI and A.

A distinct difference in notation is barely perceptible with the authentic pedalling.
