The sources differ in the combination of cautionary accidentals used in this bar. A (→FE) has a  before d1 in the 1st chord and a  before e1 on the 5th quaver in the bar. In GE the  was omitted, while in EE – the . Moreover, in GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE4 a  was added before a1 on the 2nd quaver. In the main text we also add a  before g2 on the 5th quaver.

d1 in A (→FE→GE)

c1 in EE
..

The change of d1 to c1 in the chord on the 3rd quaver in the bar introduced in EE (there are visible traces of correction in print) is certainly an arbitrary change of the reviser who, presumably, followed the analogy from bars 27 and 29.

dolce in A. GE & EE

dolce in FE
..

The arrangement of dolce in A suggests that it concerns the 2nd and subsequent quavers in the bar. However, in FE it was put already over the 1st quaver, which, according to us, is a result of a misunderstanding of Chopin's intention by the engraver. What is interesting is the fact that both in GE and in EE the hint was arranged after A and not FE.
