b. 182

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In GE (→FE,EE,FESB) two poorly justified cautionary accidentals were added – a  to f, the 12th demisemiquaver, and a  to F, the 14th demisemiquaver. The former is also in AsI; however, Chopin omitted it in A. In the main text we do not include any of the accidentals.
The same applies to b. 198.

b. 186

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No fingering in AsI & A (→GE1FE,EE)

..

In this place, the fingering added by GE2 (→GE3,FESB) is compliant with Chopin's preference – cf., e.g. the fingering of the repeated notes entered into the pupils' copies of the Waltz in E, Op. 18, b. 21-25. Therefore, it could be coming from him; however, for the reasons discussed in the characterisation of GE2, we do not give it in the main text.

b. 186-190

Staccato dots in A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)

..

As was the case with b. 114-115, Chopin provided the repeated notes in b. 186 and 190 with staccato dots, and not with wedges, as it was reproduced by GE (→FE,EE,FESB).

b. 187

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

5 dots in A

10 wedges in GE (→FE,EE,FESB)

..

Both the use of wedges instead of dots and the provision of all demisemiquavers with them are results of a routine approach of the engraver of GE, who considered the notation of A to be inaccurate. It is noteworthy that Chopin used dots to emphasise the bass line. See also Var. IV, b. 208-211.
