c2 tied in A, FE (→EE) & GE2

c2 repeated in GE1
..

The engraver of GE1 did not understand the notation of A and omitted both ties of c2. The mistake was corrected in FE (→EE), probably by Chopin. The correct interpretation of A was introduced also in GE2. See also bars 401-403.

e2 in chord in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

e2-f2 in GE2
..

Originally, the 2nd crotchet in the bar in A was a c2-f2-c3. Chopin changed the middle note from f2 to e2 in the last phase of reviewing A (→GE1→FE→EE). The version of GE2 is a result of an erroneous interpretation of this correction.

d2 in chord in A & GE2

No d2 in chord in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The version of GE1 (→FE→EE) is almost certainly erroneous – breaking the octave line of the topmost voice is totally unjustified in this case. Therefore, in the main text we preserve the version of A. This evaluation remains unchanged in the face of the addition of a , overlooked by Chopin, raising d3 to d3 in GE1, since it was most probably performed by the reviser (in A Chopin also overlooked the  raising d2 to d2).
