  b. 32

d2 in A1

c2 in CJ, CK (→CB) & EL

The version of A1 featuring d2 is probably Chopin's mistake. It is indicated by a comparison with the melody of the song "The Wish", which is quoted here, as well as by the version of [A2] (→CJ,CK), in which the first two notes of the bar constitute a seventh (Chopin could have already heard the octave leap from the next bar).
