In FE (→GE1,EE), instead of the sign of a reversed accent, there are  hairpins between b1 and a1. The inaccuracy, clearly distorting the sense of the sign, was revised in GE2 and GE3 (→GE4→GE5) on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 47. In FEJ Chopin added an accent in pencil under the top stave, which, according to us, can be considered to be a temporary correction of the misleading notation of FE.

Quaver f2 in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)

In FE (→GE,EE) the apparently unclear slur is almost certainly a tie sustaining f2, left erroneously by the engraver – see bar 50. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5).
