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.

GC has no  before the 2nd quaver, which is most probably an oversight of the copyist. The mistake was corrected in GE. The remaining sources include the correct text.
