Just like in b. 72, in the main text we suggest adding a  asterisk in accordance with the harmonic content. The mark was also added in EE and GE2 (→GE3).

In the main text we add a cautionary  before b2 in b. 73. The accidental was already added in GE as well as in EE2. In addition, we add the flats (overlooked in FE) lowering c1 to c1 in b. 73 and c to c in b. 74. The former was added both in GE and EE, whereas the latter only in GE and EE2.

Just like in b. 76, the dyad of the bottom voice (e1-a1) in FE is a crotchet. The patent mistake was corrected both in GE and EE.

risoluto in FE (→GE)

brillante in EE
..

It is difficult to explain how the risoluto indication was replaced in EE by brillante. It was probably an arbitrary decision of the publisher, although it could have also been the initial version, changed by Chopin in FE (→GE) in the last stage of proofreading.
