No sign in GE (→FE)

at end of bar in EE
..

The absence of an  asterisk in GE (→FE) must be of an accidental nature. The engraver of GE1 probably omitted it, since it was difficult to squeeze it in the right place. The reviser of EE was close to guessing Chopin's idea.

in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)
..

The missing accent in GE (→FE,EE,FESB) is almost certainly a mistake by the engraver of GE1. It is evidenced by  having been placed before the chord, with space left for the – forgotten – accent.

b. 373

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In GE1 (→FE1,EE1) the last semiquaver is a2. The patent mistake – cf. analogous bar 271 – was corrected in FE2, probably at Chopin's request, and in GE2 (→GE3,FESB) and EE2 (→EE3).

L.H. slur in A

No slur in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)
..

The missing L.H. slur probably resulted from lack of space in GE1. It does not really matter, since Chopin himself would often write only one slur over parts of both hands written down together on one stave, considering it to be valid for both hands – cf., e.g. the Ballade in G minor, Op. 23, bars 1-5.
