 under 2nd quaver in FE (→GE,EE)

Placing the  mark only just under the 2nd quaver must be a result of misunderstanding of the notation of the handwritten base text – due to the lack of space, Chopin would often put pedalling marks next to low-located notes.

In FE, there is no accidental before the 8th semiquaver in the R.H., which requires it to be interpreted as e3. This kind of distortion of a regular, virtuoso sequence is unimaginable. Therefore, the reviser of GE was certainly right to add a  before this note. However, EE did not correct this oversight, so typical of Chopin.

Crotchet A in FE (→EE1→EE2)

Crotchet B in GE, EE3 & FED
..

The mistake of FE is proved by the orchestral part, in which there is a B in cellos and double-basses, as well as by the Chopinesque correction in FED. The correct text was introduced in GE probably on the basis of comparison of the piano part with the orchestral parts. EE3 was revised probably on the basis of GE.

In FE (→EE), there is no  restoring g1 in the chromatic sequence in the R.H. In GE, this patent mistake was corrected. In addition, in FE there is no  raising c1 to c​​​​​​​1 in the L.H. This mistake was corrected both in GE and EE.
