f in A1 & CJ

d in CK (→CB) & EL
..

The concordant text of A1 and CJ leaves no doubts that it was also [A2] that featured f here. Therefore, the d note present in CK (→CB) and EL is a result of an arbitrary decision and most likely Kolberg's mistake, doubled by the use of abridged notation and reproduced by further copying.

c1 in A1

e1 in CK (→CB) & EL
..

e1 in the version of CK (→CB) and EL must be Kolberg's mistake – in A1 one can see that the note was corrected from e1 to c1. The version with c1 is an unquestionable Chopinesque improvement – it alleviates the impression of A-e1 having been moved parallel to F-c1, which opens the next bar.

The 6th L.H. quaver in EL is an a instead of f, which must be a mistake. See the note at the beginning of the bar.
