g (without ) in FC & FE

in GE1

g (with ) in EE & GE2 (→GE3)

Chopin did not introduce any accidental before the 3rd chord (which results from the compatibility of the version of FC and FE). Hence it is to be interpreted as g-b-f1. The version of GE1 with is undoubtedly erroneous – the reviser could have wanted to add a cautionary sign after the  lowering g1 to g1 at the beginning of the bar. In the same place, EE added a cautionary  (the sign could have been authentic, if it had already been in the base text to EE; however, an editorial revision is more likely). The mistake of GE1 was corrected in GE2 (→GE3), changing  before the bottom note for ; a cautionary  was also added before and another before e1 in the next chord.
