Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FEEE)

..

In A, the accents on the 3rd beat in bars 15 and 19 are clearly longer than the remaining accents in bars 13-20. In GE (→FEEE) that difference was considered insignificant.

dolce in A

The abbreviated form in  GE1 (→FE)

dolce in GE2 (→GE3), the abbreviation of GE1 (→FE)  expanded

No performance indication in EE

..

In GE1 (→FE), Chopin's indication dolce was abbreviated to dol., and in EE it was omitted. Moreover, in GE (→FE) that term was placed - inconsistently with the notation of A – between the staves.

Asterisks  in A

GE1 (→FEEE)

GE2 (→GE3)

..

In those bars, the pedal release marks are placed at the end of the bar in  A, after the 3rd crotchet in the L.H. In GE1 (→FEEE) all the marks are printed under the 3rd crotchet, which may suggest - against A – the necessity of rhythmical release of the pedal at that moment.  The notation of A was restored in GE2 (→GE3), with the exception of bar  24. The problem also occurs in bars 29-36 and 57-68.

 in A (→GE2GE3)

An accent in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

In A, the dynamic mark    in bar 24 is so short that in GE1 (→FEEE) it was mistook for an accent. However, what contradicts that interpretation is the placement of that mark in A: it is entered after the note, which is hardly ever found for accents in Chopin's autographs (a very similar sign in bar 36 was read in GE as diminuendo hairpins). GE2 (→GE3) have   here.
