b. 2

composition: Op. 28 No. 10, Prelude in C♯ minor

..

In FE1 the 4th and 5th semiquavers of the bar are b1-a1. It must be a mistake – it is likely that the engraver was influenced by the structure of the previous and the next two figures. The error was rectified in FE2; it is also all the remaining sources that include the correct version, analogous to b. 6 and 14.

In the main text we add a cautionary  before a, in spite of the fact that the crossing-out visible in A suggests that Chopin considered it superfluous.

In A (→FC,FE) there is no  lowering d2 to d2. The Chopinesque inaccuracy was corrected in EE and GE.
