a1 tied in GC (→GE) & EE2

a1 repeated in FE (→EE1)

The authenticity of the tie sustaining a1 does not raise any doubts (it could have been added in GC even by Chopin himself). In turn, the version without the tie may be a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE. The slur in EE2 was most probably added on the basis of GE.
