..

In A Chopin overlooked some of the necessary accidentals: naturals before d, d2 and a. The first and third of these patent inaccuracies were corrected already in GE1 (→FE); the fully correct text is in EE and GE2. In the main text we also add a cautionary  before b2 at the beginning of the bar.

In A Chopin overlooked two naturals necessary on the 4th quaver in the bar (a and e1). GE1 (→FE→EE) added a  raising a to a. GE2 has the correct text.

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In bars 159-164, differentiation between long and short accents is unclear in A, yet the first three signs are evidently bigger or longer than the next two (see also bar 164). Since in an analogous fragment in the recapitulation (bars 309-314) the differences are entirely clear, in the main text we give here long accents too.

..

In the 2nd half of the bar, Chopin overlooked naturals in A – undoubtedly necessary – before the 2nd and 3rd quavers in the L.H. In GE1 (→FE) a sign was added before e1, while in EE and GE2 also the one before a.
