The text does not raise any doubts here, yet the notation of accidentals differs in particular sources and it is not always precise. In FE the  before the 1st chord in the L.H. was initially placed at the pitch of c1 and it was probably at this stage that the copy constituted the base text for GE, in which the accidental was moved to the correct place (before g). In FE (→EE) the  before c1 was eventually changed to a , yet the necessary  before g was added only in EE. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) a  was added before c1, as well as before c2; the latter was also introduced in EE4. In A there is no flat before g2 in the 5th chord, which was already added in FE (→GE,EE).

In A Chopin did not write arpeggio wavy lines next to the chords in the L.H. in the entire bar, which is certainly an oversight.

g1 in A

f1 in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The change of the bottom note in the 3rd chord from g1 to f1 is undoubtedly a result of Chopin's correction in FE (→GE,EE).

Three cautionary naturals before the 3rd quaver in the bar are present in A, yet they were removed in a proofing of FE (→GE1,EE3). It seems to be Chopin's mistake, as after d1 and d2 at the end of the previous bar, the warning is quite justified in this place. The accidentals were added in subsequent GE,s and EE4 (in the latter only in the R.H.).
