In GE1 (→FE→EE) a  was overlooked, in A raising b1 to b1. The mistake was corrected in GE2.

  in FE, literal reading

When interpreted literally, the  mark in FE falls on a rest. This inaccuracy is most probably a result of a too literal reproduction of the notation of [A], in which Chopin could have not had enough space to write the mark between the bottom stave and the b semiquaver. In the main text, we assume, in accordance with GE and EE, that the mark concerns the beginning of the 2nd beat of the bar. The absence of  in GE is most probably an oversight.

Staccato dot in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

No mark in GE3
..

The missing dot must be an oversight of GE3 – in the previous GE, the dot is hardly noticeable within the 'P' letter in the  mark.

No indication in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

a tempo in GE3
..

The a tempo indication added in GE3, in spite of its evident accuracy, certainly does not come from Chopin.

Staccato dot suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we add a staccato dot also for the chord in the L.H. Such an articulation is unquestionable; in similar contexts, Chopin would often consider marks over the R.H. to be valid also in the L.H.
