In GC and FE (→EE1) there is no  before the top most note of the 3rd crotchet in the R.H. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE2. In all sources, the  before g1 in the L.H. was unnecessarily repeated.

b. 56

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

..

Before the octaves on the 2nd and 3rd crotchet of the bar in FE1 (→FE2→FE3) there are no accidentals. The patent inaccuracy of the composer was corrected to a varied extent in EE1 (the naturals of c and C) and FE4 (the naturals of c and C1-C). The totally correct notation is included in GE and EE2. Same in bar 244.

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

In all sources, the pedalling is most probably written inaccurately, whereas the signs in GC (→GE) in bar 75 are certainly misplaced. In the main text, we use the notation of FE (→EE), however, we move the change of pedal in bar 74 one crotchet earlier (this possible inaccuracy, present also in GC, can be probably blamed on the unclear notation of [A]).

b. 95

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

..

In GC (→GE) and FE1 (→FE2→EE) there is no accidental before the top most note of the last chord. This patent inaccuracy of Chopin notation was corrected in FE3 (→FE4), at the same time, however, the  raising a1 to a1 was overlooked.
