..

The tight spacing in GE seems to be the reason for increasing inaccuracies in the extent of the hairpins  in FE and EE. In the latter, the sign has the form of an inverted accent.

cresc. in A

..

The sources differ in the placement of the indication cresc.; in subsequent editions that indication moves farther and farther apart from the place where it was originally written by Chopin.

Dots in A (→GEFE)

Wedges in EE

..

In the second part of the bar, EE has wedges instead of dots appearing under the slur in A (→GEFE). This is probably an arbitrary change.

The lower slur of A, interpreted in context

The lower slur in GE and EE

A possible interpretation of the slur in FEJ

..

When read literally, the lower voice slur in A embraces just five semiquavers,  up to g flat2, which is probably one of quite many inaccuracies to be found in that part of the manuscript. In GE (and EE) the slur embraces six semiquavers, and in FE it reaches up to the crotchet e flat2, which seems most natural in the light of slurring of analogous motifs of the upper voice. The mark added in FEJ may, but does not necessarily have to, be a slur.
