No accidentals (c-c1) in A (→FE,FCGE1)

Naturals (c-c1) in EE

Flats (c-c1) in GE2 (→GE3)

Before the R.H. penultimate quaver Chopin wrote in A a cautionary  which he crossed out after having checked it was not essential. This proves the intended pitch to be c-c1 here. Therefore, the EE version is arbitrary – the reviser repeated here his amendment from the previous bar where he added (rightly there) naturals rising c-c1 to c-c1. We add cautionary flats in the main text here as GE2 already has done.
