It is difficult to say whether and which version is final. The tie to g1 is absent in FCs; therefore, a repetition of this note – as in FE, based on [FC] – is almost certainly the initial version. This suggests that Chopin added the tie to A after [FC] had already been finished, but it is also likely that he deleted it in this copy, which would mean that he returned to the initial concept. Last but not least, we cannot rule out the tie's oversight by the copyist or by the engraver of FE. In this situation, in the main text we give the version of the principal source, that is A.
The tie having been added to EE2 indicates that the edition was revised based on GE1.

No markings in FE (→EE1)
..

The pedal markings in these bars (as well as in the subsequent ones, until bar 42) were added to A almost certainly after [FC] had already been finished, which explains their absence in FE (→EE1), based on this copy. It is difficult to imagine that an entire page of markings could have been overlooked; the same applies to the possibility of the markings having been removed from [FC] or FE. In GE the A notation was reproduced with a minor inaccuracy – the first  mark in bar 20 was placed right before the next  mark, hence after the chord on the 2nd beat, and not before, as it can be seen in A. Moreover, a  was added at the end of this bar, which we include in the main text, since the absence of this mark is probably Chopin's oversight (in A this bar is at the end of a line, which is conducive to oversights). The markings in EE2 were added on the basis of GE1.
