composition: WN 17, Polonaise in B♭ major

..

In JC, the chords in the L.H. are written with g1 instead of f1.

In the same manuscript, one can see a number of cautionary accidentals, which somehow remind about their validity: a  before e, e1 and e4, e3, a  before a2 and a  before f3. The flat before e1 on the 2nd quaver is also in PE.

f3 in EF & PE
..

In JC, the last note in this bar is an e3. The mistake is revealed by the shape of the relevant fragment of figurations in the next bar, and first of all, by the compatible version of EF and PE.
