..

The repetition of bars 1-12 is marked in A with a conventional repetition sign. In turn, in FE (→GE,EE), due to purely editorial reasons (division into pages), the bars are written a second time, which erroneously indicates to perform them twice also at the time of repeating this section da Capo.

b. 12

composition: Op. 25 No 6, Etude in G♯ minor

..

The sharp returning c2 appears in [A] (→FC→GE1) and EE1 only before the 9th semiquaver, which is undoubtedly a mistake committed by Chopin (the composer, same as in many other places, concentrated on marking the top voice only). In the remaining sources, the sign was moved to the correct place (FE and GE2 and GE3) or was only added in this place (EE2 and EE3).

b. 12

composition: Op. 26 No 1, Polonaise in C♯ minor

..

The c1-e1 third in the L.H. in FE (→GE1,EE1) is written monophonically the first time. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE2 by adding a quaver stem to the top note; at the same time, a small unnecessary fragment of the stem was not removed, combining two note heads on their left side.

Nothing indicates the authenticity of the EE version – it is arguably the engraver's mistake.
