 in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE), AB & CGS

in ACh

No marking in CGS
..

The  indication in ACh suggests a slightly different concept of the Prelude, less heroic and dramatic. It is not the only change with respect to the version of A – the cresc. in the last phrase starts in ACh one and a half bar earlier.
The missing indication in CGS must be an oversight – the copyist also forgot to write the time signature on the bottom stave.

The version of CGS must be a mistake of the copyist. Cf. a similar mistake of the engraver of GE1 in b. 2.

Staccato dots in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE)

No marks in CGS

b. 5-15

composition: Op. 28 No. 7, Prelude in A major

..

There is not a single tie in CGS (b. 5-6, 8-9, 11, 15-16), which almost certainly results from an oversight.
