The  mark, placed in A at the end of the bar, appears under the 3rd crotchet in GE (→FE). In EE it is moved slightly to the right from the 3rd crotchet, which only accidentally resembles the notation of A.

 Agogic indication in A

GE (a stretto)

FE (→EE)

..

We give the agogic indication as contained in A, we also reproduce the text layout in relation to the notes. GE has a stretto instead of e stretto, which changes the sense of this indication to a certain degree; also, it is placed earlier, at the beginning of bar 45. In FE (→EE) the error of GE was corrected and the inscription moved back to its original place as in A. This is probably Chopin's correction. In EE and GE2, greater care was taken to ensure a more uniform arrangement of particular words in relation to the musical text.

The accent in the word più is given only in GE and EE3.

Short accents in A (→GE) and EE

Long accents in FE

..

The accents at the beginning of bars 46 and 48 should in A be considered short ones and this is how they were reproduced in GE. FE has long accents, although this does not seem to be the result of the correction in print. The version with long accents could be acceptable for Chopin, as in most analogous bars A has long accents. EE has short accents, which follows from inaccurately reproducing the text of FE. The conformity of that version with the authentic text of A is a fortunate coincidence.
