b. 48

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Grace note in FE (→GE)

No grace note in EE

Grace note & arpeggio suggested by the editors

..

EE include the original version of this place, completed by Chopin in the last phase of proofreading of FE (→GE): in FE in the place of the grace note there is a trace of removal of the  raising c2 to c2. By adding a grace note before the chord, Chopin would have probably meant one of his favourite means: arpeggio with repeated bottom note; however, there was no place left for the arpeggio's wavy line. Due to the above reason, we explicitly insert an arpeggio sign in the main text.

b. 50

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

..

FE feature accellerando (with doubled 'l') in this place. The mistake, certainly coming from Chopin (cf., e.g. the Impromptu in A Major, Op. 29, b. 25), was corrected both in GE and EE.

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Slur from first semiquaver in FE (→GE1,EE)

Slur from 2nd semiquaver in GE2 (→GE3)

..

In the main text we begin the slur in accordance with the most likely interpretation of FE (→GE1,EE). However, it is not a guarantee that the interpretation of [A] would have yielded the same result, hence the version of GE2 (→GE3), although being a result of a revision, may be considered a potentially authentic variant.
