Nothing indicates that three naturals raising B to and b2(1) to b2(1), added in EE could be authentic. The reviser probably relied on bars 11-12.

Fingering in FE

..

Chopin's fingering given in the main text – in bar 29 in the R.H., in bar 30 in the L.H. – was added in a proofreading of FE. It was also reproduced in GE, yet inaccurately – the 3rd digit in bar 29 was omitted. In EE Fontana completed the indications in the entire 8-bar section after similar passages in bars 1-8.

Slurs in GE

Our suggestion

..

Omission of the slurs in the L.H. in bars 30 and 34 must be considered as Chopin's inaccuracy, as in bars 32 and 36 the slurs are present in A. Therefore, we suggest to complete the slurring on the basis of comparison with similar motifs in bars 2, 6 and analog. The additions – on a similar basis, yet with different results – were performed both in GE and EE.
