In A (→GC,FE) the  lowering e2 to e2 was overlooked. The accidental was added in EE and GE. All sources have a  (cautionary?) next to f1 in the same semiquaver. We omit this superfluous sign in the main text.

b. 57

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In A (→GC,→FE1→FE2) there are no flats lowering e2 to e2 and e1 to e1, which is a patent inaccuracy of notation.
The necessary signs were completed in GE and EE, as well as in FE3, in which, however, the first of the added signs erroneously lowers g2 to g2.

b. 58

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

A (→GC,FE1→FE2) lacks essential accidentals before e2 and  f2 in the R.H., and before e1 in the L.H. In the remaining editions the appropriate complements were made, although only EE has all the necessary signs. In GE only the R.H. accidentals were added, and in FE3 only the flats, and yet, the R.H.  was mistakenly added next to the last semiquaver.

FE1 has an erroneous e3 instead of d3 as the upper note of the first semiquaver in the R.H. This patent error was corrected while proofreading FE2 (→FE3).
