In A, there are no rests in the top voice. Chopin would often omit such rests in obvious situations; however, he was not always consistent – cf. b. 216 (without rests) and 218 (with a rest). Anyways, the two-part notation is marked by the direction of the stems. This notation was reproduced by FE, yet rests were added in b. 221, perhaps at Chopin's request. Therefore, in this situation b. 220 having been left without a rest must be considered an inadvertence, hence, to avoid doubts, we add a rest also in this bar in the main text. In GE and EE the absence of a rest prompted the engravers to make the stem of the c minim point upwards, which turned an inaccurate notation into a wrong notation.

In A (→FE) there are neither cautionary naturals to f1(2) nor flats lowering a2 to a2 (in both bars) in the main text. GE added all the above accidentals; in addition, a  was added to f3. EE, in turn, added both flats and a  to f1.

In A (→FE), in b. 224 and 226, the accidentals in the R.H. part are present only at the beginning of the quaver figuration – before a2 in b. 224 and a1 and a2 in b. 226. The missing flats to the topmost note in these bars were added by GE and EE.

In A (→FE), Chopin overlooked the sharps raising f3 to f3 in b. 225 and 227. The accidentals were added by EE, while GE repeated both accidentals before these sixths,  and .
