In GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3→FE5) there is no  before the 1st note in the R.H. This patent, from the harmonic point of view, mistake was corrected in GE, EE and FE4 (in the case of the last two editions, Chopin's proofreading cannot be excluded). A natural was added in FES too.

e in GC (→GE), FE1 (→FE2→EE) & FES

g in FE3 (→FE4,FE5)
..

Chopin most probably hesitated between e and g on the 2nd quaver in the L.H. Initially – in [A] and the sources based on it – he wrote an e, which he then changed to g in the proofreading of FE3. However, he deleted the latter in FES, restoring e. According to us, both versions are generally equal, whereas in the main text we give the version with which Chopin started and to which he probably eventually returned.
