EE1 erroneously has g2 instead of f2 as the last quaver in the R.H. The mistake was corrected in EE2.

In FE and EE the stems sustaining the first notes of the triplets are written inaccurately. FE has them only in bar 29 (and the first in bar 28). EE is lacking the last four ones (from the 3rd one in bar 29). A minor inaccuracy can also be observed in A: there is no 2nd stem in bar 29. Yet Chopin's intention to sustain all the bass notes in that fragment is doubtless, although the correct notation in the faultless form appears only in GE.

The stem sustaining the 10th quaver d2 in EE is certainly a mistake. The remaining three stems also seem to be erroneously placed one bar too early (cf. bars 29-30).

The sources differ slightly, as far as the position of smorzando is concerned. In EE the indication was erroneously specified as Amorzando.
