The contrasting dynamic indications, creating an echo effect, in bars 151 and 153, introduced to FED most probably by Chopin, may indicate only one of the ways of interpretation of this fragment. Therefore, in the main text we give it in brackets, leaving it to the discretion of the performer.

..

In A the only  raising d to d appears in the 1st half of bar 153. Five out of seven necessary signs were added already in GE1 (only two naturals before d2 in bars 152-153 were overlooked), which, taking into account the clarity of the situation, possibly did not require Chopin's participation (although it could have been also him that noticed the missing signs). EE and GE2 have the correct text.

The  signs, present in bars 151 and 153 in A (→GE), are the original version of notation of these ornaments. In analogous bars 155 and 157, Chopin already used mordents; what is more, in the proofreading of FE he changed  to  also in bar 151 (most probably he wanted to do it in bar 153 too, yet the engraver of FE must have deleted , but forgot to insert ). EE repeated  after FE in bar 151 and added  – by analogy – in bar 153.
