It is highly likely that two accents of EE are an editorial revision. The sign, placed in FE0 in the middle of the stave, was interpreted (correctly) as valid for both hands and it was changed to two separate signs, by placing one above the chord in the R.H. and the other one above the chord in the L.H.

In GE and EE a cautionary natural next to f2 was added, as well as next to f1 in the subsequent bar.

In FE0 (→FE,FEG) there are no naturals raising d1 to d1 on the 2nd crotchet in the L.H. and d2 to d2 in the R.H. It is undoubtedly Chopin's mistake  – cf.  in the next bar. The necessary signs were added in EE and GE, they were also added in pencil in FED (only before d1) and in FEJ (both).

The leggiero indication, written by Chopin in FEG (→GE), was included also in the base texts to FE and EE. In the latter, same as in GE2 (→GE3), the indication was placed between the staves, just after . It is probably the editor's revision.
