No ornament in GE (→FE→EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

Omission of the  sign in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) may be explained by an oversight of the engraver (the sign in A is very small and written carelessly), Chopin's proofreading or its accidental removal while proofreading the slurs, whose traces are most visible in GE1. According to us, the latter is the most likely, yet due to Chopin's potential proofreading, in the main text we suggest a mordent in brackets, which we leave to the discretion of the performer. Cf. bars 109-110.

GE1 (→FE→EE) overlooked the tie of e1, probably due to a misunderstanding of the notation of A. The tie was returned in GE2.

Two strokes pencilled into FED below the 3rd semiquaver of the bar are probably meant to make the barely visible ledger lines more distinct.
