..

A has an unnecessary  before c2 before the chord on the 4th beat in the bar, yet it does not have the necessary  raising f1 to f1. In FE the chord was left without any accidental, which was corrected in EE3. The additions were also performed in GE1 (→GE2), in which the accidentals are placed before each note. In GE3 (→GE4) three upper accidentals were removed, therefore, also the necessary  before f1. An unnecessary revision was also performed in EE4, adding a  before c2.

Octave in A

Chord in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

The octave in A is the original version, changed by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). In FE the correction was inaccurately performed – there are no dots extending the added notes, while the  (cautionary) was placed at the pitch of b2. The rhythmic error was corrected in GE and EE and the  was moved before a2 in GE1, yet removed in EE and subsequent GE,s.
