In AsI and A (→GE→EE,FESB) the flats restoring e1 and e2 at the end of the bar are missing. The accidentals were added – perhaps at Chopin's request – in FE.

As in b. 149, in the manuscripts the accidentals restoring c(1) and B (b) at the end of the bar are missing. The mistake was corrected only in FE and yet only partly by adding flats to the last demisemiquaver.

In the manuscripts there is no  restoring e2 at the end of the bar. Chopin's oversight was already corrected in GE1 and the remaining editions. In the main text we have already added a cautionary  to e3 (it is also in GE3).

In AsI the top note of the 2nd L.H. chord is written down as f1. In this manuscript, there are no more accidentals in this bar, which is a patent mistake, resulting from the draft nature of AsI. In A, Chopin replaced f1 with e1 and remembered to restore d1; however, he overlooked the fact that it was also e1 on the 4th quaver of the bar that should be restored. This mistake was already corrected in GE1. Consequently, the notation is correct in all editions.
