In A (→GE) and FE there is a superfluous  (cautionary?) before d2. The absence of the sign in EE may be result of a revision.

b. 3-4

composition: Op. 28 No. 16, Prelude in B♭ minor

..

In A one can see that three accidentals were crossed out; it seems that Chopin wrote them "just in case." Afterwards, it turned out that they were superfluous – the  before the penultimate note in b. 3 and the flats before d3 and g2 in b. 4. (We give the  before a3 in our transcriptions due to the division of the bar between the lines.)

b. 3-4

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

..

In bar 3 all sources feature a completely unjustified  (cautionary?) to the first G note. In FC a respective  was also added in bar 4 (in pencil). We do not consider this accidental to be part of FC, since it was added by the reviser of GE. In addition to GE, the latter was also added in EE. In the main text we omit both accidentals.

The sharp in bar 3 must have been entered into [A] by Chopin. According to us, it could be an echo of the initial notation of bars 1-2, in which the top R.H. minim was written down as g1.
