The  raising c2 to c2 at the end of bar appears only in FESch (written in), FE4 and EE2. The absence of this accidental constitutes an undoubted oversight by Chopin in [A] – cf. e2 and not e2 in an analogous passage in bars 91-92.

In [A], there was neither  raising g3 to g3 in the last crotchet of bar 220 nor  raising e3 to e3 at the beginning of bar 221. These obvious inaccuracies were only corrected in some sources –  was added in FE4, GE and EE2, and  in FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4).

No indication in GC & FE (→EE1)

 in GE & EE2
..

The  indication here results from a mistake by the engraver of GE1, who interpreted thus the  sign hurriedly written in GC. The erroneous indication was repeated in EE2.

..

FE has an G1-F seventh as the 2nd quaver. The mistake was not noticed in any of the proofreadings, it was, however, corrected in EE, which could have been performed by the reviser. GC (→GE) features the correct text.
