in FE & GE1

..

The use of the  time signature is surprising only in GE1, as FE did not use the  indication in the Etudes – contrary to the manuscripts – even once, neither in Op. 25 nor in Op. 10 and in the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. also the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). Anyways, the correctness and authenticity of the  time signature is undeniable with respect to the compatible version of GC and EE.
The correct time signature returned in GE2 (→GE3).
Similarly in bar 104.

Slur in GC (possible interpretation→GE1) & EE

Slurs in GC (probable interpretation), FE & GE2 (→GE3)

..

In GC both the end of the slur in bar 4 (at the end of the line) and the beginning of the slur in bar 5, starting the new line, are written with such an extensive movement that they can be interpreted as one slur. According to us, it is, however, more likely that Chopin wanted to emphasise the beginning of the theme with a new slur.
