..

In JC, the 1st quaver in the L.H., F, was overseen. The definite error is revealed by the analogy with the motifs from the subsequent bars, lack of a relevant rest, compatible version of the remaining sources.

Lack of  on the 5th quaver in EF is most probably a mistake – the note appears in this place both in JC and PE, as well as in all sources in analogous bar 27.

On the 4th quaver of the bar, JC has the a1 note, similarly as on the second. It is almost certainly a mistake, perhaps of Chopin himself committed in [AI]. Such a type of errors belongs to the most often both in autographs and copies.
