Third in GE & EE
..

On the 2nd crotchet in FE0 (→FE) there is no c1, probably as a result of a misinterpretation of the autograph. Chopin added this note in FEG (→GE) and in the base text to EE.

d1-e1 in FE0 (→FE,FEG→GE1)

d1-e1-g1 in EE & GE2 (→GE3)
..

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, 113, 173 and 269. In three out of five of these places, Chopin added to it the g1 note in FEG (→GE). In EE the completed version with the d1-e1-g1 is present 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.

Assuming a possible authenticity of the variants of EE in analogous bars 44, 52, 76 and 84, we should admit its use also in bars 108 and 116.

Assuming a possible authenticity of the variants of EE in analogous bars 44, 52, 76 and 84, one has to allow application of this version also in bars 168 and 176.
