In A there is no  restoring a. This patent mistake – cf. analogous bar 130 – remained unnoticed by Chopin both during the proofreading and lessons. Revisers of the editions also did not notice it.

Slurs in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The well thought out moment of division of the slur was very carefully marked in A (there are visible traces of a correction). In spite of this, in GE1 (→FE→EE) the slurs were adjusted to bars.

The change of the tie of e to an e-b motivic slur is almost certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2.

In A there is no  asterisk after the  sign in the middle of the bar. This oversight, frequent in Chopin's works, unnoticed perhaps due to the end of the page in A, could have also contributed to the erroneous interpretation of the  sign as  in GE (→FE→EE). In EE   were added, most probably on the basis of the authentic pedalling in analogous bar 135. The pedalling was added also in GE2, although only in the incomplete version of A; the  sign was also preserved, in spite of the fact that it is not included in A.
