In AsI and A there is no  to the 2nd semiquaver (E), while in A also no  to the 13th semiquaver (f). The accidentals were added in GE (→FE,EE). In AsI Chopin did not forget , since he enharmonically wrote the preceding note as f. In the main text we add a cautionary  to the 4th semiquaver (G).

The missing dynamic hairpins under the L.H. part are almost certainly a mistake by the engraver of GE1. It is difficult to determine the exact range of the marks in A, since their arms are of different length.

In GE (→FE,EE) the e1 crotchet is provided with two augmentation dots, which could have been caused by the spot in A, resembling a second dot. It must be a mistake, since this e1 note is continued by the d1 quaver, falling on the 4th quaver in the bar. In FESB this note was placed on one stem with the g1 quaver, which changed its value to a double dotted quaver. It was probably an attempt at correcting the excessive rhythmic value of this note.

The missing slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an oversight of the engraver, corrected in GE2.

The ties of c​​​​​​​1 in bars 332-333 and 334-335 were most probably added by Chopin in the last phase of proofreading of FE (→EE). In bar 335, it is the sustained c​​​​​​​1 that was crossed out in FEH, which is most probably just a
