2 staccato dots in A

2 wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

..

As so many times before, the dots having been reproduced as wedges resulted from the simplified interpretation of the notation of A by the engraver of GE1. In this case, it is very difficult to notice the second one, since it is overlapped by the cresc. indication.

The sources do not include an accidental over the mordent. In this harmonic context, the use of b is obvious, hence in the main text we add a  over the ornament. Chopin hardly ever put accidentals over trills or mordents in such situations, generally leaving the task of finding the right sound of the auxiliary note to the performer's imagination.

In A there are no accidentals to the last semiquaver on each beat of the bar – Chopin considered the accidentals written to the earlier notes placed an octave lower to be valid (AsI is slightly more accurate, since it includes a  to c2 in bar 321). In GE1 (→FE,EE) these accidentals were added only just starting from g2, the last semiquaver in bar 321. In GE2 (→FESB) a  to e2 was also added, while in GE3 also a  to c2.
In the main text we give all the omitted accidentals and omit the unnecessarily repeated  to f2 at the beginning of the last R.H. triplet.
There is a similar situation in bars 324-325 and 327-328.

As in bars 321-322, Chopin did not write in A accidentals to the last semiquaver of each beat of these bars. All necessary accidentals were already added in GE (→FE,EE).

The missing dynamic hairpins under the L.H. part are almost certainly a mistake by the engraver of GE1. It is difficult to determine the exact range of the marks in A, since their arms are of different length.
