According to the editors, the  sign in A (→GE1→GE2) is entered imprecisely because it includes a rest during which a crescendo cannot be started. In the main text, we give it a scope analogous to the next such sign. A similar interpretation is used in FE and EE, as well as in FESB, in which, however, the sign is reversed (diminuendo instead of crescendo). It's hard to say whether this was an intentional change or a mistake. On the contrary, in GE3 the sign was slightly extended, which was probably a revision.

b. 181-187

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

..

In A, the flats lowering a1 to a1 in b. 181 and 184-187 and a to a in b. 183 and 186-187 are missing. These patent inaccuracies were already corrected by FE (→GE,EE).

b. 182

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt II

..

In GC and FE (→EE1) the  before the top most note is already before the 1st chord. It is hard to say how the mistake, which had to be already in [A], occurred (corrections?). In addition, in the proofreading of FE4, this obviously erroneous version was confirmed, by adding in this chord a  before c1. It is either a mistake of the engraver or a missed revision. In GE the  was moved before the second chord, in accordance with the musical sense and the version of analogous bar 142; similarly in EE2, in which, however, flats before the extreme notes of the 1st chord were added.

Chord without g1 in FE1

No g1 in the chord is most probably a result of an oversight of the note by the engraver of FE1. The mistake was corrected already in FE2.
