Our suggestion

..

In bars 2 and 6 in one of the last proofreadings of FE (→GE,EE) cautionary naturals before c2 in the chord at the end of the bar were added. According to us, accidentals in those places are actually unjustified, yet due to their probable authenticity, we suggest to consider the first of them.

Lack of the  returning b2 on the penultimate semiquaver in bars 2 and 6 is most probably an inaccuracy of the notation of CLI. In bar 2 Chopin added the sign in FEcor, in bar 6 – probably already in the handwritten base text for FE.

Fingering in FEcor

FE (→GE1GE2, →EE

..

We give the alternative fingering on the basis of Chopin's entry in FEcor. In finished FE (→GE1GE2,EE) those three digits were mistakenly put one semiquaver earlier. Repetition of the same error in EE is of particular surprise, as the fingering was revised and added by Fontana (cf. bar 12). Revisers of GE3, GE4 and GE5 tried to respectively simplify the fingering's notation and to make it more precise in this place; however, none of them realised the essence of the mistake.

Crotchets in CLI & Ap

Different values in FE (→GE,EE

..

The corrections of the rhythm written in FEcor confirm that the crotchets in CLI and Ap is the original version, changed by Chopin in all three analogous places (bars 12 and 39).

In one of later proofreadings of FE (→GE,EE), Chopin added the slur combining and (it is absent in FEcor). Similarly in bars 12 and 39. In Ap the slur is present only in bar 4.
