In b. 134 and 136, the Chopinesque manner of writing stems always on the right-hand side of the noteheads contributed to an incomprehensible reproduction of the two-part notation of AF by the engraver of FE and, consequently, the totally erroneous notation of EE. In the main text we give the simplest and probably the latest notation introduced by Chopin in [AG] (→GE).
Similarly in b. 138-140.

Rest in AI

No rest in AF (→FE→EE) & GE
..

In this layout, the rest in AI, although formally justified, could suggest the g note to be played by the L.H. Therefore, it seems that it could have been the reason for its removal in AF (→FE→EE). Chopin omitted it also in GE. In analogous b. 167 the rest was crossed out both in AI and AF.
