GC overlooked the extending dots in the first chord of the 2nd half of bar. The error was corrected in GE.

FE1 has an erroneous  before the bottom note of the first R.H. chord. The mistake was most certainly induced by the notation of A – a  before that note resembles a  owing to its faintly written lower part. The error was corrected in FE2 (→FE3).

In A, the L.H. slurring seems to be incomplete, since the motifs in bar 109 are provided with slurs, whereas the analogous motifs in the adjacent bars are not. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding two respective slurs. GC and FE generally repeat the slurs of A; however, both sources reproduced the first slur in bar 109 inaccurately: in FE it begins (on a new line) as if it continued the slur from the previous bar, in which there is however no slur, whereas in GC the slur reaches up to g in the middle of the bar. Since these minor inaccuracies actually do not influence the performance, we consider them to be accidental, insignificant defects.

The authentic slurs were arbitrarily prolonged both in GE and EE, differently in each source.

b. 108

composition: Op. 25 No 10, Etude in B minor

f1 in GC & GE1 (contextual interpretation), EE & GE2 (→GE3)

a1 in FE
..

FE has an a1 as the 3rd crotchet of the middle voice in the R.H. It is almost certainly the so-called Terzverschreibung error.
In GC (→GE1) the correct note is an f1. This patent error was corrected in GE2 (→GE3), EE also includes the correct version.

Lack of the middle note on the 3rd beat of the bar is almost certainly a mistake of GC (→GE1).
In FE the note is present, yet there is no  returning F. EE and GE2 (→GE3) have the correct text.
