The sources are lacking in the  lowering d2 to d2, which is a patent inaccuracy, repeated almost certainly after [A].

FE (→GE1→GE2) are lacking in the accidental before the 5th semiquaver from the end, which results in g2. This patent mistake is evidenced by the  before the next note, which is g2. The mistake was corrected in EE and GE3. The same applies to b. 189.

..

In the main text we add a  before e2, the 10th note from the end of the bar. Due to the previous  before e3, this accidental was sometimes considered superfluous – it is absent in FE (→GE1) – yet it was added in EE and GE2 (→GE3). Moreover, we add a cautionary  before b2 by the end of the run.

..

The sources are lacking in the accidental before the 2nd played note of the run. It must be Chopin's mistake (one of the most frequent ones – oversight of an alteration's cancellation), since a2 would have suggested a turn towards B major (G minor), and not F minor, whose dominant we are about to hear. Due to the absence of this accidental, a2 should also be in the ending of the run.
