  b. 34

e1-f1-d1 in A

e1-f1-d1 in FE (→GE1→GE1a→GE2, →EE2→EE3)

e1-f1-d1 in GE3 (→GE4→GE5) & EE4

Chopin changed the original version (written in A) while proofreading FE (→GE1→GE2, →EE2→EE3). At the time of proofreading, the unnecessary  before e1 in the 2nd half of the bar was left. This may have incited the reviser of GE3 (→GE4→GE5) to change e1 to e1 in the chord at the beginning of the bar (this totally arbitrary version was also repeated in EE4).
We add a cautionary  before f1 on the 2nd semiquaver.
