b. 122

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

e-e1 in A (→GE) & EE2

e in FE (→EE1)
..

The FE (→EE1) version resulted from Chopin's correction – the traces of removal of e1 are visible in FE (among the copies presented in our system, most clearly in FE2). In EE2 the note was restored, most probably after comparing it with GE1. In Chopin's pieces there are many examples of chords in the middle or high register with both tripled and quadrupled bass.

b. 123

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In the 2nd chord in FE1 the  raising d2 to d2 was overlooked. The patent mistake was rectified in FE2. It is also likely that the mistake was committed by Chopin in A, which, through [FC], found its way to FE1, while in the case of the very A a  was added after the copy had been finished. The same could apply to the missing  in bar 121 in FE1.

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

No R.H. lower voice in sources

Crotchet f suggested by the editors
..

The missing crotchet complementing the R.H. bottom voice in the sources is probably Chopin's oversight, which is indicated by a comparison with analogous bar 138 and 297. Such oversights of one of the notes in a multi-part texture happened to Chopin on a few occasions, e.g. in the Nocturne in B, Op. 62 No. 1, bar 33. In the discussed place, the possibility of making a mistake is increased by the corrections the traces of which are visible in the form of a deletion on the top stave.

b. 135-136

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In A and FE1 the R.H. bottom voice is missing the naturals raising d1 to d1 in the 2nd crotchet in bar 135 and in the 4th crotchet in bar 136. In FE2 only the former was added; the correct text is in GE and EE.
See also bar 142.

b. 137

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

d1-a1 in A (→GE) & FE2 (→EE)

e1-a1 in FE1
..

The fourth in FE1 must be a mistake, which is proven by both the A (→GE) version and the correction in FE2 (→EE), perhaps ordered by Chopin.
