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.

Lack of the accent in A (→GE1) may be considered as a probable Chopin's oversight. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) a short accent was already added; it also appeared in FE and EE. We give the long accent after the analogous place in bar 10 in A.

We adopt the slurring of A (→GE), although from the point of view of the performance practice, it does not make any material difference.
