Long accents in FE

Short accents in GE & EE

..

In EE the accents in the first four bars, just like in the practically entire piece, are short. It is an arbitrary change of the revisers. Long accents, most probably written by Chopin in [A], are present here only in FE. The first three accents of GE introduce a certain ambiguity, since their typeface is slightly different (they are narrower) than of the remaining marks in this source – perhaps they are also supposed to be interpreted as long.

In GE there is no cautionary  next to f1, which may suggest that in FE the sign was added in the last stage of proofreading.

..

In GE there is no cautionary  before g. Similarly, in bar 47, which suggests that both naturals were added in the last phase of proofreading of FE.

Slur to e2 in FE

Slur fo f2 in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

No slur in EE1

..

In FE one can see traces of proofreading of an earlier, inaccurate slur, encompassing four semiquavers only. This too short slur is present also in GE, which most probably means that the correction in FE was performed in the last stage of proofreading. The absence of the slur in EE1 resulted from the engraver's oversight, corrected in EE2 (→EE3), most probably on the basis of comparison with GE.
