g in A

B-g in GE (→FEEE)

B in FES

..

The version of A is, according to us, the only authentic text of this place. The sixth in GE (→FEEE) is almost certainly a result of a misinterpretation of A – the engraver of GE1 considered the original ending of the stem of the g quaver with a characteristic "hook" to be the B note. Deletion of this note in FES is probably a mistake too – the person who wrote this, perhaps Chopin himself, seeing two notes, out of which one was to be deleted and the other preserved, combined these two thoughts in one activity, by deleting the note that was supposed to stay (a similar mistake was committed in FES also in the Sonata in B minor, Op. 58, the 3rd mov. – in bar 28 a  was added, confirming the erroneous text, instead of the mistakenly overlooked  lowering a1 to a1).

Dot in A

No mark in GE (→FEEE)

..

The overlooked staccato dot over Bin the editions is most probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of GE1.

Hemidemisemiquavers in A & FE

Demisemiquavers in GE & EE

..

Longer rhythmical values of the roulade in GE are certainly erroneous, although Chopin did sometimes use this kind of notation (cf. bar 41). The error was corrected in FE, possibly by Chopin. The demisemiquavers in EE also are supposedly a mistake.

g1-a1 in A

a1-b1 in GE (→FEEE)

Slur in A

Slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

Slur in GE2

..

The slur of GE1 (→FEEE) is certainly inaccurate – it perfectly shows the disrespectful attitude of the engraver of GE1 to the Chopin slurring. The inaccuracy was partially corrected in GE2.
