A (→FE1,EE,GC→GE1→GE2) has a c1-f1 fourth as the 2nd quaver. A comparison with analogous bar 169 points to a highly likely Chopin's error, which is proven by Chopin's proofreading of FE2 (→FE3). The correct version, most probably based on the mentioned analogy, was introduced also in GE3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Terzverschreibung error , GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

In GC (→GE) Chopin added cautionary naturals next to b2 in the R.H. and b in the L.H. Such a double addition virtually excludes the possibility of a mistake – it is about neither restoring d2 in the R.H. nor a cautionary before the L.H. g1. The composer presumably forgot that a from the key signature is no longer effective. In the main text we omit these accidentals, adding a cautionary before g1 instead. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors resulting from corrections , Authentic corrections of FE |

Chopin omitted a lowering b2 to b2 at the beginning of bar, and a restoring b1 in the 2nd half of bar. An oversight of both the alteration and its canceling may seem improbable but happened to Chopin a few times, e.g. in Etude in F minor, op. 25 no. 2, bar 56. category imprint: Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of A , Errors repeated in FE |
