The missing trill in AsI is most probably related to the different shape of melody and rhythm in the ending of the bar – see the next note.

As in the case of b. 184, none of the sources includes a mark that would specify the sound of the trill's top note. The prevailing key in b. 184-190, F major, requires the use of e2, which in the main text we indicate with a

Text in AsI, basic version

Alternative version in AsI, contextual interpretation

A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

In AsI the last quaver in the bar underwent an evolution that eventually resulted in the version of A (→GEFE,EE,FESB). The starting point was the version (written down clearly, in normal-sized script) that we consider the text of this source. It is very similar to the respective fragment of b. 184. Chopin then crossed out the f1-b1 fourth and added a double grace note (in a draft manner) to the 4th quaver and 4 dyads as in the final version, however, without marking the differentiated rhythmic values, which are thus to be interpreted as demisemiquavers. We give this interpretation as an alternative variant of the text of AsI. The attempt at the reproduction of the entire record of this place is included in the graphic transcription ("transcript") of AsI.

In A there is no  to the 2nd quaver in bar 188 (g) and to the 3rd quaver in bar 189, at the same pitch. The patent inaccuracies were corrected in FE (→EE), while GE added only the latter.

As in bar 5, in A the  restoring B (the bottom note of the chord in the middle of the bar) is missing. Chopin's patent mistake in this harmonic context was corrected in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

The analogous L.H. sequences in bars 187-188 and 188-189 are most probably supposed to be performed identically. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding a slur (or a tie?) to c1, as marked by Chopin in bars 5-6.
