c3 & b2 tied in A (→FE→GE1,EE)

No ties in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)

The fact of leaving the ties sustaining c3 and b2 in FE (→GE1,EE) may result both from an inaccurate proofreading of Chopin and a careless implementation of his notes by the engraver. The revisers of GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) deleted the ties, most probably after comparison with analogous bar 45, which was corrected by the composer.
