b.

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the L.H. part, Chopin omitted a few necessary accidentals in AsI and A – a  to band a  to f in bar 327 (yet he wrote a cautionary  to e1) and a  to e2 at the end of bar 328. In GE1 (→GE2,EE1) only the latter was added. In FE and EE2 (→EE3) a  to b was also added, while in FESB – a  to f. All necessary accidentals are present only in GE3. Moreover, in EE2 (→EE3) the  to e1 was repeated before the last quaver in the L.H. bottom voice in bar 328.

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

in FC (→GE)

No indication in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

As in bar 1, the  indication could have been added to FC by Chopin or removed in the stage of proofreading FE or in [A] after the copy had already been prepared. Due to the above, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.

b.

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt I

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  to c1 and omit the unnecessarily repeated  to the last b quaver. The latter was also introduced by GE (→FE,EE,IE).

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

 from A in A

 from F in GE (→FE,IE) & EE2

No sign in EE1
..

The extended  hairpin is a revision, typical of GE (→FE,IE). In EE1 the mark was overlooked; it was added in EE2.
