The  time signature is most probably an error or FE's and GE's revision. Changes of time signature indication of that kind are to be found on a number of occasions also in other Chopin's pieces issued by those publishing houses – cf. e.g. Etude in C, Op. 10 No. 1, bar 1..

In FE the indication legato was put between the pentagrams. It is unknown whether such placement complies with Chopin's intention or if it is an inaccuracy in the base's reproduction. After all, it is not of practical importance, as in Chopin's notation signs and indications placed over the R.H. may refer to both hands.

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).

We give the slur of A (→GE). The slur in FE was led inaccurately – it ends on the 1st chord in bar 46. In EE there is no slur. In comparison with the complete and logic notation of A (slurs in the L.H. are compatible with the phrasing in the R.H.), the slurring in FE and EE in bars 45-50 displays numerous lacks and errors.

Lack of the accents in FE is certainly a result of an oversight (of the engraver of FE or of the author of the manuscript which served as the base text for the edition).
