 as written in A (literal reading)
 

 in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

 in A is written after the accent, yet still in bar 104. A comparison with similar bars suggests Chopin's inaccurate notation probably caused by lack of free space for entering the fortissimo under the octave f2-f3. In GE1 (→FE→EE),  was placed at the beginning of bar 105. In our opinion, Chopin's notation was correctly interpreted in GE2 (→GE3).

 under the L.H.  in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

 between the staves in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The indication  is placed under the 3rd crotchet of the L.H. in A (→GE1→FE→EE). In GE2 (→GE3) it was moved and placed between the staves.

No  in A (→GE1→FE)

 in EE and GE2 (→GE3)
..

In A (→GE1→FE), the asterisk  is missing, which must be considered a mistake in that context. We add  at the end of the bar in accordance with the original pedalling of the analogous bar 43. An identical addition was already made in EE and GE2 (→GE3).

Without tiny slurs in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Tiny slurs in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In GE2 (→GE3), conventional tiny slurs linking grace notes with their main notes were arbitrarily added.
