In FE (→EE1), there are no sharps before the topmost notes of the particular groups of semiquavers. The necessary accidentals were added in GE (straight away) and in subsequent EE (gradually, i.e. in EE2 – only the  of c​​​​​​​4 in bar 423, in EE3 – the remaining ones).

..

In the sources, there are no sharps before the d2 and d​​​​​​​3 semiquavers. It results from a different rule of validity of accidentals from the one applied generally in contemporary editions where a part of a bar is written with the use of an octave sign. In Chopin's times, a mark next to a note encompassed with an octave sign was often considered valid also for a note written at the same pitch, yet not encompassed with an octave sign.
