Lack of the slur in FE (→GE) is certainly a mistake. The half-bar-long slur, added here in EE, can also be an error.

We do not include the fingering added by Fontana in EE. In bar 69 Fontana repeated and completed Chopin's fingering from bar 65, while in two subsequent bars he indicated the fingering given earlier in analogous bars 55 and 49.

Dotted minim in A, GE & EE4

Semibreves in FE (→EE3)

..

The version of FE, when interpreted literally – d1-f1 as semibreves, including the upper one with a dot – is certainly erroneous. We assume, as it was interpreted in EE, that the notation determines the value of semibreve for the lower voice. This version could be considered to be a result of Chopin's proofreading, yet the engraver's error, who simply did not complete the work (a minim flag and a dot next to the lower note are missing), seems to be a more likely possibility. This is how this place was corrected in GE; we give this undoubtedly authentic version in the main text.
