..

In A Chopin wrote accidentals only to the octaves' top notes. In addition, in bar 6 he omitted the  to the topmost note of the 1st chord (a1). The patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE (→FE,EE,IE). The same applies to bars 37-38.

b. 6

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The crescendo hairpins are marked slightly different in each of the sources. The right-hand end of the hairpins in A is unclear. Comparison with analogous bars and FE and EE versions (out of which one is most probably based on a different autograph), enables considering A's notation as inaccurate. We harmonise the notation according to analogous places.
