Chopin erroneously wrote ritenenuto in A. The mistake was not perpetuated in the editions because already GE used the abbreviation riten.

The absence of the slur over (under) the triplet in bar 170 is certainly Chopin's oversight, who overlooked the entire marking of the triplet – digit and slur. In the main text we add both. In GE1 (→FE) the two-note slur of A was replaced with a longer one, embracing the entire motif. It seems to be likely that it is Chopin's proofreading, although one can have doubts whether a possible entry of the composer in the proof copy was reproduced correctly: Chopin could have been thinking of a shorter slur, like in GE2. The version of EE is certainly arbitrary. We give a more detailed analysis of the slurs of both hands in these and analogous bars in bars 171-172

In A there is no  lowering c1 to c1. This patent oversight was corrected already in GE1 (→FEEE, →GE2), perhaps by Chopin. Moreover, a cautionary  before cwas added in the next bar

F in A (→GEFEEE)

At the beginning of the bar, we give in the main text, present as the bass note in the orchestral part, Morch. It would be unthinkable that the seventh placed in the bass would remain unresolved, moving on to in the next bar, present in the double bass part. A possible reason for the erroneous presence of the note in A is imagining only the solo piano part when writing A, in haste. In this case, the actual bass line (including pedalling) forms an A-G-F sequence:
.
The version with F may be considered an acceptable variant only when performing the piece without accompaniment.

In A there is no flat lowering G to G and g to g. This patent inaccuracy was corrected already in GE1 (→FEEE, →GE2).
