In A Chopin changed twice the 3rd quaver in bar 10: from e1 into c1 and then back into e1. In analogous bar 92, Chopin, without a doubt, wrote e1. The rejected version with c1 was not corrected in the base text for EE.

A (→GE) and FE have the indication sotto voce. In A one can see that Chopin corrected the original indication – . Taking this into consideration, different indications in EE –  legatissimo – are almost certainly authentic and come from the lost manuscript base text (it also applies to the remaining indications in bars 117, 119, 122). In A we also have a few other deleted and corrected performance indications. Cf. also the beginning of the Mazurka Op. 24, No. 2.
