d in AI, FE2 (→EE) & GE

d in FE1

The version of FE1 is almost certainly a mistake by Chopin, which is proven by the compliant version of AI and FE2 (→EE), proofread by Chopin. The mistake was most probably caused by the fact that in [A] the notation with a 5-sharp key signature (as in AI) was replaced with the notation with a 3-sharp key signature. In the discussed four-bar section, kept in the key of C major, it was necessary to add sharps to d and a notes, which Chopin apparently did not do, since these are the accidentals that are missing in FE1 (see also the last note in the next bar).
