..

In bar 79 in Atut, Chopin wrote a  only before the top note of the octave at the beginning of the bar, which was corrected already in FE (→GE,EE). In an analogous situation four bars later, there are no accidentals before the 1st octave in Atut, which was repeated in FE and corrected only just in GE and EE.

..

In Atut, a  is written only next to the minim in the top voice. This patent inaccuracy was corrected already in FE (→GE,EE). The cautionary  before c2 in this chord, present in all sources, is also noteworthy; it is unjustified in this context (omitted in the main text).

Atut features a  (cautionary?) before B. In FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), another one was added, before B1. In GE3, both marks, unnecessary in this context, were removed.

Minim d1 in Atut (literal reading→FE→GE,EE)

Dotted minim d​1 in Atut, contextual interpretation
..

In Atut, the rhythmic value of the d1 minim is unclear – there is no stem next to it, hence it seems to be a semibreve. It can be a mere deficiency, frequent in Chopin's autographs; however, it cannot be excluded that Chopin planned here a dotted minim, like it is in the orchestra (bassoon I) and in similar bars 122 and 682.
