The notation of the octave a1-a2 in FE and GE is certainly inaccurate, which was corrected by the reviser of #EE. In that edition, however, one extending dot was added next to a1, which indicates a misunderstanding of Chopin's simplified notation, in which the progression a1-g1 of the lower voice was not separated.

Our suggestion
..

The notation of the octave b1-b2 in FE and GE is certainly inaccurate, which was corrected by the reviser of EE. The extension of the quaver e2 is marked exclusively in GE. This such characteristic for Chopin detail was considered by us in the main text.

b. 90-91

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

No sustained notes in FE and GE

Sustained chord in EE
..

The version of EE with an added g in bar 91 and hold of all common components of both chords is certainly unauthentic; apparently, the reviser considered the notation of FE as unfinished.
