In the majority of the sources, the R.H. text on the 1st beat of the bar contains a rhythmic mistake. However, we give the text in this form, since it is impossible to say which elements are written incorrectly and therefore which rhythm Chopin meant. In the main text we give the version of AsI, since it is undoubtedly authentic, rhythmically correct and natural, both aesthetically and pianistically. However, as Chopin did not repeat the version of AsI, he could have wanted to change it then. The alternative versions are two possible reconstructions of a rhythm that could have been intended by Chopin.

In A (→GEFE,EE) the penultimate note is prolonged to the value of a quaver, which must be a mistake in this context.

The second half of the bar is written in the sources even more carelessly than in b. 264. In FE (→GE1), there is no  before a3 on the 4th quaver of the bar; the  restoring a3 in the last chord is also missing. These accidentals were added in EE and GE2 (→GE3). Moreover, FE (→GE1,EE) are lacking in the flats restoring b1 and b in the last two L.H. quavers. The mistake was partially corrected – only on the 5th quaver of the bar – only in GE2 (→GE3). See also the preceding note.

The triplets in the 2nd half of the bar are written in A (→GE1FE,EE) as demisemiquavers instead of semiquavers. The mistake was corrected by GE2 (→GE3,FESB).
