In A the end of tie reaches the next bar. We consider it to be an inaccuracy of notation due to the obvious phrase structure and consistent slurring in almost each out of 11 analogous bars.

b. 6

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The crescendo hairpins are marked slightly different in each of the sources. The right-hand end of the hairpins in A is unclear. Comparison with analogous bars and FE and EE versions (out of which one is most probably based on a different autograph), enables considering A's notation as inaccurate. We harmonise the notation according to analogous places.

In FE the mordent's sign was probably omitted. What is puzzling is the fact that there is no relevant entry in pupils' copies (e.g. in bar 21 Chopin added the omitted sign to FES and FEJ).

b. 7

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

..

The crescendo hairpins differ slightly in their range. In comparison with A (→GE), in FE the hairpins are extended on the entire penultimate triplet group. In EE they are totally absent (cf. remark concerning bars 7-9).
