The fingering added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE) was slightly modified by Fontana in EE. Lack of indication of the 1st finger in the L.H. in bar 44 may also be a mistake.

In A the only accidental in the part of the R.H. is the  before the 3rd semiquaver (c2). In a proofreading of FE (→EE), Chopin also added a  before the 2nd note (b1). It is probably a correction of the manuscript's inaccuracies, yet in this harmonic context the version with b1 (b2) as a possible original version cannot be entirely excluded. The accidentals in the 2nd group of semiquavers are included only in GE (in A, in which the middle part of the bar is written – same as in the following bars – with the octave sign, a sign or signs were not necessary).
