B suggested by the editors

In A (→GE→EE,IE) there is no accidental to the 6th quaver, as a result of which it is to be interpreted as B1. However, it is highly likely that Chopin forgot to cancel the  here and that the ending of the bar, already without alterations, returns to the key of F minor (after a short deviation to C), in force since bar 293. This is how it was interpreted in FE, and this is the version we suggest in the main text, marking our intervention with the help of brackets.
