On the 2nd and 3rd crotchets in FE there is no c1. Chopin completed this deficiency in FEG (→GE). EE also features the correct version.

e-g in GE2 (→GE3)

In analogous bar 10 Chopin changed the B-d-g chords for e-g thirds. He introduced this correction in all three base texts: in FEG (→GE), as well as in the base texts to FE and EE. Lack of respective changes in bar 182 is most probably a result of an oversight – Chopin was known to leave out a correction in one of a few similar places – therefore, also in this bar we give the corrected version with thirds, resulting in a lighter sound. The revisers of GE2 (→GE3) introduced the same change.

In FE0 there is no  next to d. The mistake was overlooked by Chopin in FEG (→GE1). The missing sign was already added in GE2 (→GE3) and FE1 and EE.

c2 in FE0 (→FE,EE,FEG→GE)

a1 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

At the beginning of the bar FE (→FEG→GE1,EE) has a c2, which is most probably a characteristic error of the engraver (the so-called Terzverschreibung). In analogous bar 24 in all sources there is an a1 note. A respective correction was introduced in GE2 (→GE3).
