While proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin changed the notation of the bottom note of the 5th and 6th semiquavers from e1 to d1. At the same time, he did not realise that after the change, a  returning d1 in the last pair of semiquavers should be added. The mistake was corrected in GE and EE4.

We add a cautionary  before c1. The accidental is already present in GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE4.

No slurs in A (→FE→GE,EE3)

11 slurs in EE4

The whole-bar long slurs are an arbitrary addition of the reviser of EE4. Cf. bars 5-14.

Slur in A (→FE→GE,EE3)

EE4
..

The slur of A (→FE→GE,EE3) reaches only the last quaver in bar 35. In the main text we suggest a slur modelled on the slur Chopin extended in A in analogous bars 2-3. A similar modification was already introduced in EE4.

 in A & EE4

No sign in FE (→GE,EE3)
..

Omission of the  hairpins in FE (→GE,EE3) is certainly an error of the engraver. The sign of A appears also in two analogous places (bars 4 and 12). The hairpins in EE4 were added probably on the basis of the comparison with these bars.
