At the beginning of the bar FE has an e. Chopin changed it to E both in FEG (→GE) and in the base text to EE. Cf. a similar line of the bass in the Waltz in Cminor, Op. 64 No. 2, bars 38-40.

In bars 44 and 52 EE has an e-csixth on the 2nd and 3rd crotchet, similarly in analogous bars 76 and 84. Chopin most probably introduced this variant in the base text to EE. In the main text we give the version of the remaining sources whose authenticity does not raise any, even minor, doubts.

The d1-e1 second in FE is the original version – in FEG (→GE) Chopin added a gnote to it. Also EE has a completed version with the d1-e1-gchord. Therefore, the fact of leaving the original version in FE seems to be Chopin's oversight.

d1-e1 in FE0 (→FE,FEGGE1)

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 gnote in FEG (→GE). In EE the completed version with the d1-e1-gis 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.
