In A (→FE,FC→GE) there is a  before the d2 crotchet. In the main text we omit the accidental, which was also performed in EE. The use of g1 and g in the L.H. part in the previous bar and on the 2nd quaver in this bar provides the fragment preceding the discussed note with a minor tone, which probably resulted in the need to specify its pitch.

In the main text we give a  raising f1 to f1 after A (→FC→GE). The accidental is absent in FE, which can almost certainly be attributed to the distraction of the engraver of FE, who forgot to insert a  in the place between the notes left especially for this purpose. Chopin added a  in FED; it was also added in EE.
