A (→GE1), FE and EE are lacking the natural raising a2 into a2 in the ending of the 1st trill is probably Chopin's oversight. The sign was added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).

We add a cautionary flat next to a in the chord. The addition was already made in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).

The sixth c3-a3 present in GE1 (→GE2) is a characteristic mistake of "thirds" made by the engraver (moving the upper note by a third). The corrections in GE3 (→GE4) were probably made after revising the text from A.

In A the staccato is clearly determined with a wedge which was also recreated in FE. In GE the wedge was changed into a dot. The staccato dot is also in EE.
