In the main text we give a pair of   hairpins, being a result of Chopin proofreading of GE1a (→GE2); it is also FE that has identical indications. Hence Chopin returned – in a modified form – to the original idea written in AI. The abbreviated sign of GE1 is an attempt to interpret a not entirely clear notation of A; another attempt was made in GE3, ignoring the authentic proofreading of GE1a.

In AW, GC, FE and EE1 (→EE2), there is no  returning b2. This characteristic for Chopin mistake was corrected in the remaining sources. In the repetition of this phrase in bar 23 the error appears only in AW, in which the repetition is not written with notes.
