In FE1, the topmost note in this bar is an a1. This patent mistake was corrected in FE2, perhaps by Chopin. It is noteworthy that, in spite of the correction of the pitch, a necessary in this situation flat lowering c2 to c2 was not added.

FE1 has an a1-c2 third on the 1st quaver. It is a perfect example of an unfinished proofreading, where the correct note was printed without having removed the erroneous one. The mistake was corrected in FE2 (→EE).

The version of FE1 must be erroneous, which is proved by a comparison with analogous bars 286 and 290 as well as by the proofreading of FE2 (→EE), perhaps originated by Chopin.

A has an a1 as the last note in the L.H. It is almost certainly a mistake – cf. analogous figures in bars 300, 302 and 304-306. Mistakes in the number of ledger lines are the most frequent pitch errors committed by Chopin (excluding those related to the notation of accidentals). GE (→FE→EE) features the correct text, which can be ascribed to Chopin's proofreading or a fortunate mistake, since there are no visible traces of correction in print, whereas the note in A, despite three ledger lines, is written lower than the previous g1.
In the discussed place, there is a visible correction in A. The deletions are actually very precise, yet their placement allows us to indicate e1 and d1 as possibly crossed out original (or only erroneous) last two notes.

In FE1 the last note of the triplet is printed a third higher, by mistake, as a b1. The mistake was corrected in FE2, perhaps by Chopin.
