In A (→FE), in b. 224 and 226, the accidentals in the R.H. part are present only at the beginning of the quaver figuration – before a2 in b. 224 and a1 and a2 in b. 226. The missing flats to the topmost note in these bars were added by GE and EE.

Three naturals are missing in A – before the bottom note of the 1st octave in bar 225 and before the last quaver in bar 225 (a1) and 226 (b1). These patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE (→FE→EE).

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

FE are lacking in the  lowering c2 to c2. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE. There is a similar situation in b. 241 and 245, which suggests that a corresponding  present in FE in this place the first time (b. 221) could have been added in a hasty process of proofreading, since b. 241-260 were probably marked in [A] in an abridged manner.
