Chopin added the ecrotchet, overlooked in GE1, in the proofreading of FE (→EE). It was also added in GE2. In the main text we provide it with a cautionary .

In GE1 (→FEEE) the long accent present in A was overlooked. The accent was restored in GE2 but as a short one.

Upper voice slur in A & GE2

Lower voice slur in GE1

Both slurs in FE (→EE)

..

The slur of the bottom voice, appearing in GE instead of the slur of the top voice written in A, is probably a mistake, although its addition by Chopin cannot be entirely excluded (e.g. if in the proof copy no slur was included, Chopin could have added two and the engraver only the bottom one). In any case, in the proofreading of FE (→EE) Chopin restored the top slur, without removing the bottom one, so that next to the version of A one can also notice the version of FE with two slurs. In the main text we give the version of A, since the authenticity of the bottom slur is not as unquestionable as of the top one; moreover, the top slur applies to the entire part of the R.H. by default.

b2(3) in A (literal reading→GE1FEEE)

b2(3) in A, possible interpretation

b2(3) in GE2

..

In A (→GE1FEEE) there are no accidentals before the 6th and 10th notes of the roulade (in relation to a notation with an octave sign in Chopin's times, a possible sign was required only before the 6th note). Formally speaking, it should read b2 and b3, yet in ascending passages Chopin would generally use altered interchangeable notes (cf. e.g. bars 87, 95, 143, 175-178, 247-248, 331-334 in this movement), which suggests a possibility of overlooking naturals resulting in b2 and b3. In the main text we give a version based on an assumption that Chopin's notation does not contain mistakes, adding a cautionary  before b2.
