No second part of indication in FE
..

The sotto voce indication was completed in GC and probably in the base text to EE. In GC one can see that Chopin initially wrote a different indication (probably e legato only), to eventually choose e sempre legato.

Minims d2 in GC (→GE), EE1 & EE3

d2-f2 in FE & EE2
..

The version of FE is a result of proofreading of this edition – Chopin added f2 minims to the d2 minims, present in the remaining sources (except for EE2, in which the version of FE was introduced). Being the latest, we adopt it to the main text.
