Ignored dashes marking the range of cresc. is a frequent inaccuracy of the first Chopinesque editions. The fact that GE2 added dashes only in bar 429 may be explained by an inaccuracy (it is the last bar on the page in GE2 – cf. bars 469-474). However, further dashes may have been thought to be contrary to the   hairpins.

Double slurs in A & GE2

The engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE) may have considered the double slurs to be an unnecessary complication. Cf. bars 472-480.

 in A & GE2

No sign in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The omission of the  hairpin in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an oversight of the engraver. The sign was added in GE2 on the basis of A.

..

In A the notation of accidentals in this bar is inaccurate:

  • there is only one  before the 1st chord in the R.H.; moreover, it is written in such a way that one cannot be certain which note it concerns (we assume that it is d3),
  • in each of the triplets, a  is only before the 1st note,
  • no  before the bottom note of the third in the L.H. on the 3rd beat of the bar.

The necessary signs were added already in GE1 (→FE); however, the  before the bottom note of the octave in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar was overlooked. EE and GE2 feature the correct notation.
