b. 18

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

..

In A (→FE→GE1→GE2→GE3→GE4) there is no  raising c1 to c1 in the chord at the beginning of the bar, which must be an error. Chopin added the necessary sign in FED (as well as the second one "on the run", unnecessary before c in the 2nd half of the bar). The correct text is included also in EE and GE5.

b. 18-19

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

..

In A (→FE) Chopin omitted the naturals raising B1 to B1, C to C and c to c. The second of them was added in FES. In GE a  was added at the end of bar 18, yet both signs in bar 19 appeared only in GE3 (→GE4→GE5). EE has the correct text.

We add cautionary flats before b and b1. The accidentals were added in GE4, yet in GE5 some of them were overlooked.

b. 20

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

..

In A (→FE→GE1→GE2,→EE2→EE3) there is no  raising G to G. This patent accuracy was corrected in FES and later editions.

In the sources the natural raising g to g is before the first sustained semiquaver in the bar. We move it before the 4th note, according to General Editorial Principles, p. 3.
