Hairpins in both GC and FE are inaccurate – a sign written with too much impetus in GC, and a  cut short by the line break in FE.

In GC (→GE) and FE there is no decresc. in the R.H. In A it is shorter than in analogous bars 141 and 145, yet there is no reason to differentiate between the places. A similar harmonisation of these hairpins was performed in EE.

Continuous slur in A (→GCGE)

New slur from bar 154 in FE

New slur from bar 155 in EE

..

Discontinuous slurs in FE and EE are probably inaccurate due to the line breaks in A and FE. The engraver of FE presumably reproduced a slur over the last two bars in a line, what corresponds to bars 153-154 in A, but 154-155 in FE. The slurs in EE result most likely from misinterpretation of a slur which is notated over two lines in A.

..

In the first half of the bar, in A (→EE,GCGE) the L.H. beam links all three quavers. In FE the first quaver is separated from the following two, what seems not to be the result of Chopin's correction.

Slur in A (→GC)

Tied f1 in FE

Tied f1 & e1 in GE

Slurs in EE

..

In FE and GE the slur was moved under the dyads, which effectively changed its meaning – instead of embracing the c2-bmotif, it indicates to hold f1. Moreover, both in GE and in EE, a similarly placed slur was arbitrarily added in the 2nd half of the bar.
