We add the a flat on the 3rd crotchet in the L.H. The sign was already added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).

The version of the 2nd half of the bar in A, FE and EE is rather erroneous, so the change inscribed into FEJ should be considered as a correction. The mistakes in the number of ledger lines are Chopin's most frequent errors.

We add the accidentals returning f2 and e2 on the 10th and 12th notes in the R.H., which were omitted in A, FE and EE. The additions were already made in GE (in GE1 only the natural next to f2) and EE2. It is a typical error of Chopin.

EE has the f1 note on the penultimate quaver in the R.H. Due to the fact that A, FE and EE1 are lacking the accidentals returning f2 i e2 before the 10th and 12th quavers, it seems that the fact of adding the  can be attributed to the reviser of EE1 who was misled by f2 on the 10th note of the bar, which had not been cancelled. The sign was not deleted in EE2.
