FE overlooked the  lowering e2 to e​​​​​​​2. The accidental was added in the remaining editions. All editions except GE3 include an unnecessarily repeated  (cautionary?) before the last semiquaver.

In FE, there is no  raising g2 to g2, which was completed in GE and EE. FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) has an unnecessary  before g​​​​​​​ before the last crotchet in the L.H.

The versions of FE and EE1 must be erroneous (in addition, FE do not contain a  before the 3rd crotchet), since a simple scheme, on which this harmonic accompaniment is based, would be distorted, without a sonic explanation. EE2 (→EE3) introduced the correct text probably on the basis of a comparison with the previous two appearances of this phrase or with GE.

In the R.H. part, there are no accidentals in the 2nd half of the bar in FE. The necessary sharps were added in GE and EE (in EE1, only before the 7th semiquaver).

FE (→EE, GE1 (→GE2) has a cautionary  before a before the 2nd chord in the L.H. It is a remaining element of the original notation of the 1st chord, in which there was an a​​​​​​​ instead of g (traces of a corresponding proofreading are clearly visible in FE). The accidental, unjustified in the final version, was removed in GE3. In GE1 (→GE2), cautionary naturals before c and c1, as well as before the c2 semiquaver, were added before that chord. We include all of them in the main text. A natural before c was added also in EE2 (→EE3), whereas in GE3 all accidentals before the 2nd chord were removed; only the  before c2 was left.
