In FE, instead of , a  was misplaced twice – at the beginning of the last group in the L.H. in bar 31 there is c2-e2 instead of c2-e2, while at the 7th semiquaver in bar 33 there is f2-a2 instead of f2-a2. Both mistakes were corrected in FES, although it is hard to state whether it was Chopin who performed it. In the second place, an erroneous or unclear notation could have been in [A] and in the remaining Stichvorlage manuscripts – in FC one can see a correction from  to , while EE1 does not include any sign before this note, which gives the same result as the erroneous  in FE.

Same as previously, in FE, EE1 and GE1, the abbreviated notation of FC and remaining Stichvorlage manuscripts were misinterpreted in FE, EE1 and GE1, which gave the 2nd, 3rd and 4th group of semiquavers without any accidentals. The mistake was corrected in EE2 (→EE3) and GE2 (→GE3).
