The earlier beginning of the slur in the editions may be a result of the Chopin proofreading of GE1. However, not being certain thereof, in the main text we give the version of A.

cresc. - - from bar 285 in A & GE2

cresc. in bars 285 & 287 in GE1 (→FEEE)

cresc. - - [ - ] from bar 285 suggested by the editors

cresc. - - [ - ] from bar 287, our alternative suggestion

..

In the main text we give the cresc. written in bar 285 in A and extended by dashes to the end of bar 289 (we suggest to extend the dashes to the end of bar 290 so that they lead to a natural point, which in this case is  in bar 291). The repetition of the indication present in GE1 (→FEEE) in bar 287, unjustified in this context, signalises a possible mistake. An alternative suggestion is based on a less likely assumption that Chopin, while proofreading GE1, wanted to move  to bar 287, but the proofreading was implemented only partially.

This time the  returning doverlooked by Chopin – as in analogous bar 139 – was added already in GE1 (→FEEE, →GE2).

Slurs in A & GE2

It is difficult to qualify the replacement of three two-note slurs of A with a whole-bar slur in GE1 as a mistake or a result of a routine approach of the engraver. It also does not seem to be a proofreading, understood as a change of the slurring of A. According to us, the following hypothesis is likely – the engraver initially printed the bar without any slurs (he also overlooked all staccato dots), which was perhaps corrected by Chopin, by adding one slur. In the main text we give the slurs of A, whose authenticity is unquestionable. They were also introduced in GE2.
