b. 3

composition: Op. 28 No. 21, Prelude in B♭ major

..

In A one can see a crossing-out between the  and the 3rd quaver. It was most probably the  before a that was removed (superfluous), yet it seems that, for some reason, Chopin also crossed out the correctly written f-a third, which he then reintroduced next to it. If it was so, the reason could have been, e.g. accidentally blurred noteheads, even partially, as a side effect of removing the natural.

In A it can be seen that the crotchets in the middle of bars 4 (g) and 8 (f) were originally written as quavers after which relevant rests would follow.

The crossed-out g2 note before the final a2 note, which can be seen in A, and the e2 note, added clearly later, prove that the last 3 semiquavers in the bar were initially f2-g2-a2

b. 5-6

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

..

In A there are visible traces of a change of the bottom note in the 3rd chord in bars 5-6 (as well as in bars 13-14, which are marked in an abbreviated form in A as a repetition of bars 5-6). Originally, all the places featured c2, hence Chopin proceeded from the strictly analogous version to bars 1-2. Cf. bars 37-38.
