In A the initial b in LH in b. 86 (and corresponding bars 102 and 134, where in the manuscripts repetition of this phrase is not written out with notes) is notated slightly too low and becomes a three times in FC3. The mistake was corrected in FE (→IE) but not precisely - b was introduced in bars 86 and 102 with the omission of b. 134. In b 86 a found its way into GE1 (→GE2), in GE3 changed into b.

In A intitial b in LH in b. 86 (and in corresponding bars 102 and 134 as in the manuscripts repetitions of this phrase are not written out with notes) is notated slightly two low, so in FC3 we find a three times. This error was corrected in FE (→IE) (not too prescisely however as b was notated in bars 86 and 102, but not in b. 134). In b. 86 a found its way into GE1 (→GE2) (in GE3 changed into b).

g2 instead of f2 at the last quaver of the bar is certainly a mistake of Chopin in [A]. It is proved by the  before the note, present both in FE1 (→FE2) and GC, which originally also included g2. Chopin corrected the mistake in GC and the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). The erroneous version was passed down to EE1, in which it was revised, by deleting the , which was superfluous before g2.

b. 238

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

The bottom note of the three-note chord in the 1st half of the bar is written down in A quite low, hence FE initially interpreted it as f3. It is evidenced by the traces of a correction on the engraving plate visible in FE copies.
