No fingering in A

Numeral '1' in FE

Numeral '3' in GE, EE & FED
..

FE gives the '1' fingering digit under the 4th note. This patent error was overridden both in GE and EE. Chopin wrote a relevant correction also in FED.

..

A does not include the  before the topmost note of the chord on the 3rd beat of the bar. This patent oversight was completed in FE (→GE,EE). In turn, in all sources, except for GE3 (→GE4), there are unnecessary flats before c2 in this chord and before f2 on the 4th beat of the bar.

d in A (→FE→GE)

d in EE
..

In the main text we give d (with a cautionary ) after A. In FE there are two accidentals before this note,  and , one on another. It is an easier performed correction, however, it is unclear which of the signs was supposed to be removed and which should be considered as binding. GE includes a  and EE – .

Slur in A

No slur in FE (→GE)

Slur in EE
..

Lack of the slur in FE (→GE) is certainly a mistake. The half-bar-long slur, added here in EE, can also be an error.
