In FE1 there is no arpeggio sign at the beginning of the bar. It is certainly caused by the engraver's distraction.

FE1 (→FE2) has an e as the bottom note of the 1st minim in the L.H. This patent error was corrected in FE3 (→FE4). The remaining sources also include the correct text.

..

FE1 (→FE2) has a b-e1 minim here. The mistake resulted from an erroneous assignment of these notes to the bottom stave, where the bass clef is in force – the mistake's mechanism is easy to understand, looking at the notation of GC (most probably very similar to the notation of [A]). The mistake was corrected in FE3 (→FE4) and EE, mostly likely as a result of Chopin's intervention. GC (→GE) includes the correct text.

The version of FE1 (→FE2) is certainly erroneous, which is proved by Chopin proofreading in FE3 (→FE4) and FESch. The correct version of EE can also be a result of Chopin's correcting the base text to this edition.

The version of FE (→EE) is probably erroneous – cf. analogous bar 188 as well as a slightly extended variant of this motif in bars 64 and 192. The absence of a correction in this place is, however, puzzling – Chopin did not pay attention to this note both in the detailed proofreading of FE2 (twice – as the base text to EE and FE3) and in the proofreading of FE4, as well as in the pupil's copies.
