In the main text we add a cautionary  next to b1 in the R.H. An identical pencilled addition, probably performed by Chopin's hand, can be seen in FEJ. The GE1 (→GE2) version must be an erroneous revision, one of a few in bars 185-186: see the note at the beginning and in the middle of the next bar. In GE3, the  lowering b1 to b1 was deleted.
