As was the case with bars 58-60 and 62, Chopin almost certainly forgot here about the  raising d to d in the last quaver, hence it is a d. In this case, however, he did not correct this mistake in FE2 (→EE), hence a  was added only by the reviser of GE. In the main text we give the version with d, confirmed by AI.

EEW does not contain the  raising d2 to d2, which must be an oversight by the engraver. The corresponding accidental in FE was almost certainly added in the last stage of proofreading FE1, hence initially it was also absent in GE1, in which it was added in print along with a few other sharps. This can be deduced from the fact that both FE1 and GE1 did not provide space for this accidental before the note; therefore, in both editions it must have been added only just in the stage of proofreading the already printed text.
