GE2 changed the layout of the text, placing the entire R.H. part on the top stave (in bass clef). This change is contrary to Chopin's habit, who would write the R.H. part in such a manner only in exceptional situations (e.g. in the Prelude in E major, Op. 28 No. 9). Similar changes were introduced in all analogous passages (bars 50-52, 76-78, 283-285, and 309-311), as well as in bars 79-83. We do not reproduce this inauthentic layout in our transcripts for these changes do not influence the meaning of the text.
