There is a  over the trill in FE (→EE). It would make sense only if the trilled note were a c2, which is almost certainly erroneous in this case. Therefore, the sign was most probably added by the reviser of FE in the last phase of proofreading, since the  was not included in GE.

GE does not have b in the chord on the 3rd quaver in the bar. It is probably a mistake of the engraver.

GE has an additional c1 note on the last quaver in the bar. It is most probably a mistake of the engraver.

Trill over b1 in FE

Trill over b1 & a1 in GE

No trill in bar 188 in EE

The differences in the length of the wavy line of the trill are most probably accidental. There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the version of FE. The version of EE must be erroneous – if the b1 in bar 188 was not supposed to be encompassed with the trill, there would be no reason to drag the wavy line over the naturals introducing a new key. According to us, a possible Chopinesque proofreading of GE is also unlikely – a single note, in this case an a1, is a natural way of ending a trill in such a context.

..

In GE, there is no  restoring a1 at the end of the bar. This patent mistake was most probably originally present also in FE (and probably also in [A]), in which, however, it was corrected in the last proofreading.
