The notation of FE, with the demisemiquaver going beyond the 3rd note of the semiquaver triplet (in b. 104 and 106-108), is contrary to the Chopinesque understanding of this kind of combination of a dotted rhythm with a triplet – see the note on b. 45-46.

e2 in EE1 (→EE2)

Contrary to the situation in b. 103, in A (→GE→FESB) there is no cautionary  to e2. A flat was added in FE, perhaps at Chopin's request, whereas in EE1 a  was inserted here, raising e2 to e2. This version, possible in itself, must be erroneous, which is proven by – aside from the compliant version of the remaining sources – the comparison with analogous b. 104, 120 and 124. This erroneous revision (or maybe simply a mistake) was corrected only just in EE3, where the  was changed to a .
