..

The triplets in the 2nd half of the bar are written in A (→GE1FE,EE) as demisemiquavers instead of semiquavers. The mistake was corrected by GE2 (→GE3,FESB).

The second note in the L.H. part in AsI, A (→GEFE) and EE3 is a dotted quaver, as a result of which the bar is a semiquaver too short. In the full, orchestral version of this tutti, the cello (and bassoon) phrase starts from the beginning of the bar with a dotted crotchet, which could have suggested to Chopin that it was also in the version for one piano, after shifting the beginning to the 2nd quaver, that the new value should be dotted. The mistake, easy to detect, was noticed and corrected only by FESB. By contrast, in EE1 (→EE2) the dot prolonging this note was left out – it could have been a failed attempt at correcting this mistake.

No marks in AsI & A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

..

The wedges, added to the bass crotchets in GE1 certainly by mistake, were strangely consistently repeated by all the remaining editions. The source of the mistake could be the first crotchet stem, to f, which in A does not reach the notehead and therefore could have been considered a wedge.

b. 321-322

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In A there are no accidentals to the last semiquaver on each beat of the bar – Chopin considered the accidentals written to the earlier notes placed an octave lower to be valid (AsI is slightly more accurate, since it includes a  to c2 in bar 321). In GE1 (→FE,EE) these accidentals were added only just starting from g2, the last semiquaver in bar 321. In GE2 (→FESB) a  to e2 was also added, while in GE3 also a  to c2.
In the main text we give all the omitted accidentals and omit the unnecessarily repeated  to f2 at the beginning of the last R.H. triplet.
There is a similar situation in bars 324-325 and 327-328.
