g2 in chord in A (→FE1)

g2 in FE2 (→EE) & GE
..

Same as in bar 44, the  raising g2 to g2 was moved from before the 2nd quaver in front of the first one in the proofreading of FE2 (→EE), most probably by Chopin. The sign was moved also in GE1, which is most probably a right revision of the editor (in the subsequent GE, the  before the 2nd quaver was unnecessarily returned).

Tied crotchet f2 in A

Quaver f2 & slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

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).
