..

The rhythmic group on the 4th quaver of the bar was mistakenly written in A with the use of  notes with twice as long rhythmic values : . In GE that mistake was only partly corrected: , and it was in FE (→EE) that the correct text was inserted: .

d flat in A (→GE2) and FE (→EE)

f in GE1
..

The note f in GE1 is certainly erroneous: this is evidenced by the proofing - probably Chopin's - of FE, in which the d flat written in A was reinstated. The error was also corrected in GE2.

 in A (→GE2)

No markings in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Elements added in FEFr
..

The marking , present in A, was omitted in GE1 (→FE→EE), and reappeared only in GE2. The   and  added in FEFr are the alternative supplement to the incomplete notation of the majority of editions (both sets of markings describe a similar - if not identical - performance).

A long accent in A

No accent in GE (→FE→EE)
