In GE1 (→GE2), the first 3 quavers are semiquavers, which is a patent mistake, corrected in GE3.

Slashed grace note in GE

..

Just like in a few other places (e.g. bar 250 and 577), one can ponder whether the long grace note is just a proof of the engraver's carelessness in this place. This is how it was assessed in GE; however, according to us, the situation in this bar is different (as well as in bar 607) – Chopin would frequently use grace notes in the form of small crotchets before longer values, e.g. minims (cf. e.g. the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, 1st mov., bar 208, as well as the Impromptu in G​​​​​​​ Major, Op. 51, bar 104 or the Polonaise-Fantaisie, Op. 61, bar 209 and 212). Due to that reason, in the main text we leave the notation of FE (→EE). The above observations do not prove whether that notation is actually compliant with Chopin's intention; they only show that it is a possibility, hence the version of GE may be considered an acceptable variant (we encounter a short grace note in a similar context in, e.g. the Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 48 No. 1, bar 19).

The missing slur in GE1 (→GE2) is most probably an oversight.

Slur in GE3

..

In GE3, the slur combining the last two quavers in the L.H. must be inauthentic, while its absence in the remaining sources may be considered justified – the interval between those notes exceeds the hand span.
