..

In GC (→GE) and FE1 (→FE2→EE1) there are no naturals raising the 10th quaver to d1(2), which in this context is a patent oversight. The sign in the R.H. was added in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4,FE5), whereas in FE5 a  was added also in the L.H. A natural in the part of the R.H. is also in Afin, in which, due to the abbreviated way of notation of the L.H., it refers to both hands.

b. 37

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt IV

e-e1 in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2→EE)

f-f1 in FE3 (→FE4→FE5)
..

The version with e-e1 may be Chopin's mistake, who in [A] introduced the naturals raising it to e-e1 four quavers too late. In any case, Chopin proofreading of FE3 undoubtedly determines both the sound of this quaver and its enharmonic notation.

b. 46

composition: Op. 35, Sonata in B♭ minor, Mvt IV

10 bars in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2)

8 bars in EE, FE3 (→FE4) & FESch
..

Between bars 46 and 47, GC (→GE) and FE1 (→FE2) include another two bars, identical to bars 9-10. It is probably a result of a mistake at the time of performing an abbreviated marking of bar 39 and following with numerals as repetitions of the respective bars of the beginning – Chopin marked 10 bars in this way instead of eight. The composer removed the superfluous bars in the proofreading of FE3 and in the base text to EE, he also deleted them in FESch and two (according to Mikuli) pupil's copies, belonging to Fryderyka Streicher and Marcelina Czartoryska.
