In AI there are a few additional or unnecessarily repeated accidentals ( before a, the 11th note in the L.H. in bar 40 and  before f, the 11th note in bar 41), or totally unjustified ( before d2, the 6th note in bar 40 and before d, the 2nd note in bar 41). In FE (→EE,GE1→GE1a→GE2→GE3) only  before f, the 11th note in bar 41 remained, first removed in GE4 (→GE5).

In GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3→FE5) there is no  before the 1st note in the R.H. This patent, from the harmonic point of view, mistake was corrected in GE, EE and FE4 (in the case of the last two editions, Chopin's proofreading cannot be excluded). A natural was added in FES too.

composition: Op. 25 No 9, Etude in G♭ major

..

In GC (→GE1), FE and EE1, before the last octave in the R.H. (c3-c4) there are flats. The signs, completely unjustified in this place, must have been also in [A], which is a very meaningful example of Chopin's uncertainty concerning the issue of the prevailing set of key signatures, particularly the last one. The signs were removed in GE2 (→GE3) and EE2, while in GE3 they were reintroduced, which indicates rather a mechanical work of the reviser of EE3, copying the versions of GE1 without having analysed their accuracy.
