composition: Op. 28 No. 17, Prelude in A♭ major

..

On the last quaver in A (→FC→GE1) there are no accidentals before the middle notes of the chords in both hands – a  before b1 and a  before d2. The patent inaccuracies were corrected in FE (only the ) and EE (both). In turn, in GE2 (→GE3) naturals were wrongly added before both notes.
(NB: both correct accidentals are present in FCI.)

b. 27-30

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

..

In the passages including a few octaves, there are no accidentals in the sources, which, however, does not raise doubts concerning the text intended by Chopin.

In GC there are no sharps needed in the notation of f1, f2 in bar 27, f, f1, f2 in bar 28, f2, f1 (L.H.), c1 in bar 29 and f, d2 in bar 30.
In FE the same signs apart from the sharps before f1 in bar 27 and f1 (L.H.) in bar 29 were omitted; moreover, the  raising d2 to d2 in bar 29 was overlooked.
GE1 completed the signs overlooked in GC except for the  raising f1 to f1 in the L.H. in bar 29.
In the remaining editions – EE and GE2 (→GE3) – all necessary signs were added.
