..

In FE1 there is no  next to b2. Moreover, A (→FE1→GE1) has no  before the first e1 in the L.H. It seems even that in A Chopin cancelled that sign probably considering valid the earlier  in the R.H. Remaining editions have these inaccuracies corrected.

In the main text we omit the superfluous  added in FE (→GE1→GE2) next to the last a in the bar.

b. 33

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

The notation of accidentals in the R.H. arpeggio is not fully compliant with rules of the orthography. Chopin needlessly repeated  next to a2 on the 2nd beat, but forgot  before the last demisemiquaver (c1). The omitted accidental was added in EE and GE2 (→GE3→GE4).
