An earlier beginning of the last slur in this bar, causing the slurs to overlap, seems to be an inaccuracy of notation, since such slurs do not appear in similar places at all. However, this version, potentially authentic, may be considered an acceptable variant. The slur was deemed inaccurate already in GE3.

In FE (→EE), the only accidental before the 1st chord of the 2nd half of the bar is a  before a, unnecessary in this context. In GE1 (→GE2), the accidental was moved to before f; however, a  lowering c​​​​​​​1 to c1 was not added. The latter was introduced only just in GE3.

Single note in FE (→GE,EE1→EE2)

Chord in EE3
..

The version of FE (→EE1) is doubly incomplete:

  • the missing  before the 1st quaver of the bar is a patent inaccuracy. The defect was corrected in all remaining editions;
  • there is no visible reason to reject repetition of the entire F major chord – the chord corresponds to the orchestral part composed from the parts of FEorch (→GEorch) and to the one written in MFrorch, while the motif of five repeated chords is reproduced accurately in all 9 analogous places. The chord was introduced only in EE3.

No slur in FE

Slur in GE & EE
..

The missing slur in the R.H. is a patent mistake of FE, corrected in the remaining editions.

FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) includes cautionary sharps before g1 and g​​​​​​​2. In this place, the accidentals are not necessary, since the divergence from the transitionally valid key, F major, was carefully marked by Chopin already two bars earlier with cautionary sharps before g1(2) and naturals before b1(2).
