FE1 and GE are lacking the  lowering d1 to d1. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in FE2 and EE. Moreover, in FE1 there are no naturals before two last quavers in the L.H.; the remaining sources have a correct text.

Missing from FE1 is the  before the 2nd quaver in bar 57 (c) and in GE – before the last one in bar 58 (c1). FE2 and EE have a correct text.

d1-d2 in FE (→EE1)

d1-d2 in GE, EE2 & FEJ
..

The flats lowering d1-d2 to d1-d2 is an error of the engraver of FE1 (→FE2,EE). It is proven by the version of GE and Chopin's hand-written correction in FEJ. The correct text was also introduced into EE2.

Semibreves in FE (→EE1)

Minims in GE and EE2
..

In FE (→EE1) the third a1-c2 is a semibreve. Most probably it is an error of the engraver of FE1. In the main text we give the undoubtedly correct text of GE and EE2. Similarly in bars 35 and 43.
