In FE the  raising e3 to e3 was placed only just before the 8th semiquaver, which is a mistake. The accidental overlooked before the 5th semiquaver was added both in GE and EE. We also add it in the main text; moreover, we omit the already superfluous accidental in the 2nd half of the bar. We also add a cautionary  to b1 in the L.H. chord.

Fingering written into FEO

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering digits were entered into the FEO teaching copy by Chopin, hence we provide them as a variant.

g2 in FE (→EE)

g2 in GE
..

The FE version (→EE) is most probably wrong, since this and half of the next bar are a repetition of a respective fragment from bars 169-170, changed in terms of articulation. The sharp added in GE could be coming from Chopin, although such a change could have also been introduced by the reviser, on the basis of the analogy described above.
