..

Chopin wrote the last d1 note in A (→GE) with a flat. In FE and EE there is a similar situation. We delete the sign which is unnecessary in this context.

EE is lacking the natural raising b to b in the ending of the 1st trill. It is probably an oversight.

A, FE and EE are lacking the flat returning e2 at the end of the bar. This type of oversights are the most frequent errors made by Chopin. Cf. bar 71.
