e1 not tied in A & GE1Ab

e1 tied in FE (→EE,GE1opGE2opGE3op) & GE2Ab

According to us, both here and in bars 125-126, the absence of a tie sustaining eis an oversight of Chopin. The composer actually wrote out both pairs of bars in A, yet probably only due to the accent on e1, which is absent in bar 1. In any case, a tie added in a proofreading of FE clearly proves Chopin's final intention.
