A (→GC,FE1→FE2) has no  raising c1 to c1 in the L.H. The patent Chopin's oversight was corrected in EE, FE3 and GE.
In A (→GC,FE), in the 2nd half of the bar there is an unnecessarily repeated  before c2. The accidental was necessary in the manuscripts because the line ends in the middle of the bar. It was omitted in EE and GE.
