The version of EE1, repeated then in all analogous bars (b. 227, 243 and 247), could have been the initial version of these bars. However, it seems to be more likely that we are dealing here with Chopin's inadvertence, corrected in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2, probably on the basis of GE1. The a1 note is featured in the violas part, yet only just on the 3rd beat of the bar (after the rests).

Just like in b. 223, the version of EE1 is probably Chopin's mistake adopted from a proof copy of FE. The natural raising a1 to a1 was added in the last stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2.

Just like in b. 223 and 227, the version of EE1 in b. 243 and 247 is probably Chopin's mistake adopted from a proof copy of FE. The natural raising a1 to a1 was added in both bars in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The correction was also introduced in EE2.
