Different interpretation of sources
..

The position of the  mark is insufficiently justified, as far as music is concerned – if the new phrase was supposed to be performed piano (following the previous forte), it should be performed so rather from the beginning of the bar. Therefore, it would be an example of applying the manner of placing indications within their scope of validity. However, the mark in [A] may have been only slightly moved beyond the 1st quaver in the L.H. due to lack of space between the staves. In the main text, we take an attempt to approximately reconstruct that placement; it can also be interpreted literally as ​​​​​​​ right after the beginning of the bar which would perform a double role – end the previous phrase and begin a new one.

We add a cautionary ​​​​​​​ before a2 in the main text. The accidental was added already in GE and EE.

We add a cautionary ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ before c4 in the main text.

b. 232

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

The flat restoring b2 at the beginning of the last triplet does not appear in any of the sources. It seems that it was believed that the  before b3 four semiquavers earlier was not a cautionary accidental only and that it was also valid in the case of the discussed note. The same in b. 252.
