In the main text, we add cautionary sharps before d​​​​​​​ in bars 214 and 218. The accidentals were added both in GE and EE; however, there is no  in bar 218 in EE1 (it appears only just in EE2).

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before f3. The accidental was added only in GE3. Interestingly, FE includes a cautionary  before f​​​​​​​1 in the L.H., which was not repeated both in GE and EE1 (→EE2). The accidental may have been added in the last phase of proofreading, which would explain its absence in GE; in EE, it was overlooked or considered unnecessary (it was added in EE3).

In FE, there is no  raising b2 to b​​​​​​​2. The inaccuracy, most probably repeated after [A], was corrected in GE and EE.

The version of FE is almost certainly erroneous: both the missing interval of an octave before the topmost note of the passage and repetition of this note disrupt the regular melodic and pianistic nature of the figuration – cf. analogous phrases in bars 221 and 228-231. The correction of the text in the remaining editions was most probably introduced on the basis of comparison with the analogous bars. Moreover, a correction is written also in FEH; however, it was not the sixth but the seventh semiquaver that was changed, probably by mistake.
