b. 3

composition: Op. 25 No 8, Etude in D♭ major

..

In A (→GE1), FE and EE there is no  returning f2 in the penultimate sixth. This patent error was noticed only in GE2 (→GE3) on the occasion of a thorough revision of accidentals – cf. the notes concerning the natural and flat before the previous sixth.

b. 3

composition: Op. 28 No. 18, Prelude in F minor

..

We add cautionary flats before the penultimate semiquaver d1(2). The accidental in the R.H. part was already added in EE, however, in EE1 it is a mistaken , corrected into  only in EE2.

A flat is also visible there (in the R.H.) in FC. It is a later annotation, absent from GE.

b. 4

composition: Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor

..

In CLI and EE2 the  returning d1 on the 4th beat of the bar was deleted, which is a patent error. In CLI there is a superfluous  before g1 in this chord, which shows that Chopin did not include in the notation the previous alterations in this bar at all. Similarly in bar 12.
