g2-c3 in GC (→GE), FE3 (→FE4), FESch & EE2

g2-e3 in FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

The version with e3 present in FE1 (→FE2→EE1) (in both FE without the necessary  in this situation) is almost certainly erroneous. It is proved by: c3 written in GC (→GE) and the Chopinesque corrections in FESch and FE3 (→FE4). The correct version with c3 is written inaccurately in some of the sources – the necessary  is only in GE and EE2. Further omissions of accidentals – see the adjacent note.
