The missing tie of e may be an oversight of the engraver of EE1, corrected in EE2 (→EE3). However, it cannot be excluded that the omission of the tie was a decision of the reviser who considered the tie to be a mistake, noticing that Chopin could have written e as a semibreve, like in bar 116.
The dash visible in FEH before the 2nd e minim is perhaps related to the issue of sustaining it (as long as it conveys anything specific at all). Its authenticity and meaning are, however, unclear – one can interpret it as a strikethrough of the tie, which would mean a repetition of e, or a deletion of the tie and this minim, which would emphasise no repetition. In the face of these doubts, we do not include this mark.
