In A the c3 quaver at the beginning of the bar is written also as the 1st note of the semiquaver triplet of the bottom voice. In the proofreading of FE1 Chopin replaced it with a rest. The traces of performed changes in print allow to state that the actual proofreading included also a2, which the engraver of FE saw in A (according to us, unjustifiably).

In GE2 the  sign is unclear: it is unknown whether the second  was badly removed by the revisers or whether it was poorly printed. Probably due to this reason GE3 removed one sign, leaving erroneously only a single  (b1). B1 was returned in GE4 (→GE5).

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.

In the proofreading of FE1 Chopin changed e1 in the 1st quaver in the L.H. into d1. The fact of leaving e1 in analogous bar 83 is to be considered Chopin's oversight or the engraver's mistake.

In the proofreading of FE1 Chopin changed the 4th quaver in the L.H. – the a-e1 fifth – to an a-c1 third. The fact of leaving e1 in analogous bar 83 has to be considered Chopin's oversight or the engraver's mistake.
