 under 3rd quaver  in A (→FCGE)

No marking in FE (→EE1)

on 2nd quaver in EE2

..

The missing  indication in FE (→EE1) must be the engraver's oversight. Dynamic gradation is undoubtedly an integral part of the 16-bar section that ends here; as a result, the dynamics of the beginning of its repetition should be tantamount to sotto voce in b. 28. It is also confirmed by  present in the next bar in FED.

In EE2 the indication was probably repeated after GE. Moving it a quaver earlier was an arbitrary decision; however, it may comply with Chopin's intention, since he would sometimes place markings within the range of their scope, and not at the beginning.

EE1 has 6 sharps as the key signature on the upper staff in bars 47-49. The error, with no bearing on the actual sound, was corrected in EE2.

As was the case with b. 39, of which the discussed bar is a literal interpretation in the manuscripts, in the main text we keep the notation of A (→FEEE1).

No staccato in A (→FE,FCGE)

Staccato dots in EE

..

The abridged notation of repeated quavers as minims provided with quaver tremolos (appearing for the first time in these bars in FE) misled the engraver of EE; he wrote out the abbreviations in full but kept the dots being part of the abridged notation. Consequently, these bars contain erroneous staccato dots in EE. In b. 59, an arbitrary slur was also added to the dots.
