The cautionary natural before c2 was added – probably by Chopin – in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

..

In the main text we omit the superfluous cautionary  before the 3rd semiquaver, f, present in all sources.

b. 11

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

Separate slurs in Afrag & A1 (→FE→EE)

Continuous slur in GE
..

In A1 the slur started in b. 9 undoubtedly reaches the 1st quaver in b. 11, in spite of a minor inaccuracy of notation – in b. 10 (at the end of the line) the slur does not go beyond the bar line, yet its ending is written in b. 11. The separated slurs of both preserved manuscripts may be considered here an equal variant, just like in b. 7 and further repetitions of that phrase. In the main text we give the continuous slur of [A2] (→GE).

b. 11-12

composition: Op. 50 No. 1, Mazurka in G major

No sign in Afrag, A1 & EE

in GE
..

Chopin added a  both in [A2] (→GE) and in the proofreading of FE; however, the range of the marks differs significantly: the mark in FE emphasises chiefly the very culminant chord, whereas the hairpin of GE creates a slightly further plane of escalation. In the main text we follow the principal source, i.e. GE, yet we consider the latest version of FE to be an equal variant. There is a similar situation in b. 67-68.
