In GC, both the 5th and 9th quaver in the L.H. are written as a G. It also influences the sound of the 7th quaver, which is then to be interpreted as a G. The mistakes were not in GE, in spite of the fact that guessing the correct text of each of the hands requires a more careful analysis.

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

..

Same as in bar 63, the absence of accidentals before the 8th quaver creates a doubt whether Chopin had in mind d-d1 or d-d1. In this case, however, we consider cancellations of alterations to be clearly the more likely possibility and we suggest the version with d-d1 as the only one.

GC (→GE) do not have staccato dots in the L.H. in this bar, probably due to the copyist's accidental omission.
