As was the case with b. 69, in most sources (except FESB) the syncopated c2 crotchet is prolonged with two dots, which results in an excessive number of rhythmic values – 5 quavers in the bar. The mistake was noticed and corrected (graphically awkwardly) only in FESB.

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

There is only one  before the chord at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar in AsI and A, a  to the bottom note (the b2 semiquaver). What is more, in A the accidental was written inaccurately, above the semiquaver, as a result of which GE1 assigned it to d3. Both missing naturals were added in the stage of proofreading of that edition. Chopin's patent oversight was corrected right away in GE1, hence all editions contain the right text (the fact that the  to d3 was printed first is evidenced by the arrangement of the naturals and by the slight difference in size between the  of d3 and the two remaining ones).

b. 125-127

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In AsI the following quavers: g3 in b. 125, c4 and e4 in b. 126 and b2, e2 and d2 in the 1st volta of b. 127 are written as crotchets – they lack quaver flags. The first two of those mistakes (next to g3 and c4) were repeated in A. The editions contain the right text.
