b. 31-63

..

In FE there is no  raising e1 to e1 in bars 31 and 63. The oversight, probably by Chopin in [A], was corrected in EE.

b. 39-47

composition: Op. 30 No. 2, Mazurka in B minor

..

There is no accidental to the last grace note in bars 39 and 47 in FC, while in FE in bars 39, 45 and 47. The patent oversights, the ones in bars 39 and 47 most probably by Chopin himself, who considered the earlier  to g1 to be sufficient, were corrected in GE (in bar 39 a  was added to FC already by the reviser) and in EE.

f in chord in FC (→GE1)

g in chord in FE (→EE) & GE2
..

The improved voice leading, achieved by avoiding parallel B-f and c-g fifths, most probably resulted from the Chopinesque proofreading of FE (→EE). The fact that this version appears in GE2 suggests the use of FE in the revision of this edition.
