In the proofreading of FE1 Chopin changed the b-f1 fifth on the last quaver in the L.H. into a b-d1 third. The absence of a respective correction in analogous bar 82 can be considered to be Chopin's oversight or, which is more likely, the engraver's mistake. Similar changes were also introduced by Chopin in the next bar – cf. annotations to the first, fourth and fifth L.H. quaver in bar 51.

None of the editions includes a wedge for the f2 semiquaver in the R.H. – both in bar 51 and in analogous bar 83. In addition, a respective correction was undoubtedly overlooked by Chopin while proofreading FE. The legitimacy of completing this sign can be additionally confirmed by the fact that it is visible in A also in a previous version of this bar, deleted by Chopin.
