FE is missing naturals before the 6th semiquaver in bars 254 and 255. The patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE and EE. There is a similar situation in bar 258.

The octave sign added in FEH most probably defines an authentic variant. According to us, it is much more likely that it was meant to move the entire figure of both hands by an octave, and not only of the R.H.

..

In GE1 (→GE2), there are no naturals lowering c and c​​​​​​​1 to c and c1. They were probably added in the last phase of proofreading of FE (→EE). Naturals were added also in GE3.

FE is missing a natural before the penultimate note in the bar; however, the accidental is present before the previous semiquaver, d3. Therefore, it can be likely that the engraver put an accidental before the wrong note, although Chopin would also occasionally write accidentals in such an illogical manner. In GE, the  was moved to before c3, whereas EE added the necessary ​​​​​​​ without removing the one from before d3.
