The natural before the initial third was misplaced in FE: before c1 instead of a. The mistake went to EE1, where the "superfluous" sign was omitted. Chopin added the necessary sign in FED; EE2 (→EE3) also includes the correct text.

Taking into account the above doubts, in the main text we leave the version of A and of the remaining sources, while in the version of FED we omit  and we leave the inclusion of  to the discretion of the performer.
