Contrary to the situation in b. 103, in A (→GE→FESB) there is no cautionary  to e2. A flat was added in FE, perhaps at Chopin's request, whereas in EE1 a  was inserted here, raising e2 to e2. This version, possible in itself, must be erroneous, which is proven by – aside from the compliant version of the remaining sources – the comparison with analogous b. 104, 120 and 124. This erroneous revision (or maybe simply a mistake) was corrected only just in EE3, where the  was changed to a .

In GE (→FE,EE,FESB) a cautionary  was added to the f1 quaver in the L.H. and to the 10th R.H. semiquaver, f2. The accidentals do not seem necessary here; we do not include them in the main text.
