Crotchet b in GC (→GE)

Quaver in FE

Dotted quaver in EE

Adding in FE the b note on the 2nd beat of the bar to the top voice is probably a result of misunderstanding of the notation of [A]. The different value of the b note in bar 59, being a repetition of this bar, not written out with notes in the manuscripts, indicates an inaccuracy of reproduction of the manuscript in this place by the engraver of FE. Unifying the rhythmic values in EE is most probably a revision, supported by a comparison with bar 59. In the main text we give the unquestionable version of GC (→GE).

The notation of GC, representing the abbreviated notation of [A], indicates, according to us, two  signs. A similar conclusion was reached by the reviser of GE2mar (→GE2), whereas FE and GE1 give a hairpin only in bar 7. Interestingly, in an analogous situation in bars 11-12, all editions put the indications in both bars (yet they differ in the way of considering the pedalling). As far as the range of the signs is concerned, in the main text we adopt the averaged signs of GC and FE, as the present between them one semiquaver difference seems to be unimportant. The longer signs of GE and shorter of EE are probably an inaccuracy of interpretation of the base texts.

 in GC (→GE), FE & EE2

No signs in EE1

..

The absence of  signs is probably an oversight of the engraver of EE1, although a possibility of their removal by Chopin in the base text to this edition also cannot be excluded.

Long accent in GC

Short L.H. accent in GE

Long L.H. accent in EE2

The accent in GC was probably added by Chopin. In GE, clearly against the manuscript, it was assigned to the L.H. and it was given a shape of a common, short accent. Such placed sign was repeated in EE2.

In [A] (→GC,FE) Chopin overlooked the bass clef. The sign was added in GE and EE. Similarly in all repetitions of this place.
