b. 6

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

..

In A (→FE,FC→GE) there is a  before the d2 crotchet. In the main text we omit the accidental, which was also performed in EE. The use of g1 and g in the L.H. part in the previous bar and on the 2nd quaver in this bar provides the fragment preceding the discussed note with a minor tone, which probably resulted in the need to specify its pitch.

Minim & rest in A (→FE→EE)

Dotted minim in FC (→GE)

The longer chord in the 2nd half of the bar must be Fontana's mistake.

Pedalling in A (→FE→EE)

No markings in FC (→GE)
..

The missing pedalling markings are one of a few oversights of the copyist in this Prelude.

b. 6

composition: Op. 28 No. 13, Prelude in F♯ major

..

The  restoring g in the 2nd half of the bar is absent in all the sources. It is one of Chopin's most common mistakes. The g note is so obvious that EE did not notice the mistake in spite of the cautionary  having been added before g1 in the 2nd R.H. chord.
