In A (→FCGE) the e1-a1 fourth is a minim without dots. It must be Chopin's oversight – cf. analogous b. 30 and similar b. 10, 13, 16, 29 and 32. Therefore, in the main text we include the addition introduced most probably by Fontana into FE (→EE).

..

The b2 note, provided with a ten., is prolonged to a crotchet in A (→GEFE,EE). It seems to be Chopin's mistake, since such a long value would have to be held also at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar, which would certainly be a mistake. To avoid doubts, we change it to a quaver, almost exactly corresponding to its actual length. The fact that FESB omitted that extension could have resulted from that erroneous notation, with which the engraver did not know what to do.

The change of g1 to f1 in FE1 (→GE) must be a mistake. It was corrected in FE2 (→EEW).

In FE1 the top notes of the 7th and 8th R.H. semiquavers were printed a second higher (by mistake). Consequently, the 4 last octaves in this bar sound as follows when interpreted literally: d2-e3, e2-f3, e2-e3 and d2-d3. The patent mistake was corrected in FE2 and EE.

In A there is no  before the top note of the L.H. chord on the 4th beat of the bar. The patent inaccuracy was already corrected in FC (→GE) and FE (→EE).
