  b. 80

No accidentals in A & GE1

 e3 in FE (→EE)

Two flats in GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

 &  suggested by the editors

Determining the sound of the 2nd and 14th semiquavers poses some difficulties. According to us, Chopin had in mind e3 and e2, respectively, same as in similar bar 76. In A, however, he forgot to insert a  before the 2nd note, such kind of oversights belongs to his most frequent mistakes – cf., e.g., bar 79. The version was included in GE1 through FE's review copy. The natural added in the last proofreading of FE (→EE) is probably an overlooked mistake of the engraver, one of a number of such mistakes committed in the Etudes and other pieces. The flats in subsequent GE,s are certainly an arbitrary addition.
