In GC the fourth quaver is erroneously notated as e. Out of two theoretically plausible corrections - to e or f - the second seems more probable based on the corresponding figures in b. 557 and further. All doubts are dispelled by the EE and FE f here. Also in GE the wrong note was corrected to f.

In EE, GC and FE the fourth quaver is notated as a. The presence of 'a' notes as the ones comprising the chords in the previous and following bars indicates erroneous omissions of sharps by Chopin. And so the spot was corrected in GE accordingly.
