..

A has no  rising c1 to c1 in bars 34 and 36. The obvious inaccuracy of Chopin's notation was corrected in FE (→GE1) in bar 36, and in the remaining editions in both bars.

Instances of omitted essential naturals next to notes C in different octaves occur in A repeatedly in the whole section (bars 33-40).

GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE2 added superflous cautionary flats next to g in the L.H. and g1-g2 in the R.H. Similarly in bar 138.

..

GE1 overlooked the staccato dots over the last beat of the R.H. The subsequent GE corrected this mistake.

No mark in A (→FE→EE)

Staccato dot in GE
..

GE includes a staccato dot also under the 1st quaver of the L.H. It is most probably a mistake.
