2 slurs in EE

1 slur in GE3
..

In the main text, we give the complete slurring of FE. The versions of EE and GE1 (→GE2) are most probably a result of the engravers' mistakes. A single slur in GE3 is probably modelled after the slurring of an analogous phrase in bars 95-96.

Wedge in FE

No mark in GE & EE
..

The missing wedge in EE and GE must result from an unfortunate placement of the mark in FE between the dots indicating the range of the octave sign.

e tied in FE (→GE) & EE2(→EE3)

e repeated in EE1
..

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.
