composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt I

d-b-d1 in GC, FE (→EE) and GE2

f-b-d1 in GE1
..

The f-b-d1 chord in GE1 is certainly an engraver's error. Moreover, the mistake changed the meaning of the slur which became a tie to f.

b. 8

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione

f in A1 & CJ

d in CK (→CB) & EL
..

The concordant text of A1 and CJ leaves no doubts that it was also [A2] that featured f here. Therefore, the d note present in CK (→CB) and EL is a result of an arbitrary decision and most likely Kolberg's mistake, doubled by the use of abridged notation and reproduced by further copying.

composition: Op. 25 No 2, Etude in F minor

 
..

The last crotchet in GE1 is an e1. The reason of this patent error could have been the unnaturally high position of this note in GC. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 11

composition: Op. 25 No 12, Etude in C minor

..

FE has an f1 instead of a1 as the 8th semiquaver in the L.H. The engraver's error is proved by the compatible version of the remaining sources, the version of analogous bar 3 and a correction written in pencil in FES.
