FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) is missing the  lowering g1 to g1. Chopin's oversight is proven by the ​​​​​​​ in the respective place of identical bar 265. The accidental was added only just in GE3.

FE has a cautionary  before b3 in bar 322. It must be a mistake – the accidental should have been placed at the pitch of a3. The error was corrected both in GE and EE, both also added an analogous ​​​​​​​ in bar 326.

The 1st finger on the 4th semiquaver is almost certainly a mistake of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) – the digit was most probably supposed to concern the next note (d1). The mistake was corrected in FED and FEH; an appropriate change was introduced also in GE3. In the latter and in FEH, in the further part of the passage, a few digits were added, clarifying the fingering indicated by Chopin at the beginning of the bar.

The missing  must be Chopin's oversight – in two previous bars, d notes are featured on several occasions as elements of chords and belong to the F​​​​​​​ minor key, consolidated in the discussed bar. Oversights of accidentals are very frequent in Chopin's oeuvre in such a context. The version with d3 is also supported by analogy with bar 379. Chopin added a  in FED; however, it was only just in GE3 that it was added in print.
