The d1-e1 second in FE is the original version – in FEG (→GE) Chopin added a g1 note to it. EE also has the completed version with the d1-e1-g1 chord. Therefore, the fact of leaving the original version in FE must be considered as Chopin's oversight.

..

The d1-e1 second featured in FE and GE1 is the original version, which is proven by the comparison with the remaining four analogous places in bars 49, 81, 113 and 269. In three out of five places Chopin added to it a g1 note in FEG (→GE). In EE the completed version with the d1-e1-g1 chord is in all five places, which also proves Chopin's proofreading. Therefore, the fact of leaving the original version of the discussed bar in FE and GE1 must be considered as Chopin's oversight.
