An accent in A (→GE2→GE3)

 in GE1 (→FE)

An accent in EE
..

The accent on the 2nd crotchet of the L.H. visible in A was misinterpreted in GE1 (→FE) as short hairpins . The proper form of that mark was restored in GE2 (→GE3). EE also has that accent, but moved under the stave.

 in A and GE3

GE1 (→FE→EE)

GE2
..

In bars 108-111 in A, the pedal release marks are written before the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. In GE1 (→FE→EE)  were placed after the 3rd crotchet, which is definitely an error considering the changing harmonies in bars 108 and 110. In GE2, three out of four marks were moved, yet conformity with the notation of A was only retained in bar 108. Full conformity with A was restored in GE3.

Slur beginning in A

GE1 (→FE→EE)

GE2 (→GE3)

The slur in A begins on a semiquaver, along with the melodic narrative. In GE1 (→FE→EE) it begins over the dotted crotchet, and in GE2 (→GE3) it starts at the beginning of the bar.
