..

In GC and FE (→EE) there is no  before the second grace note. It is almost certainly a mistake of Chopin in [A] – naturals rising c1(2) to c1(2) are missing also in bars 110, 112 and 114.The sign was added in GE.

b. 145-155

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

..

In the sources based directly on [A] there are no naturals raising c to c – in GC in bars 145 and 147, in FE1 in bar 147. These patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE and FE2, so that all the remaining sources include the correct text. Similarly in bars 153 and 155, although there and in FE the second  was added only in FE4.

In the sources based directly on [A] – GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3,EE1) – four naturals raising c1 to c1, in bars 148-149 and 151-152, are missing. These patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE, FE4 and EE2.

b. 242

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

No sharps in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2→EE1)

Sharps in FE3 (→FE4) & EE2
..

Same as in bar 54, we include in the main text the sharps raising the f1-f2 grace note to f1-f2, added – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4). The change was introduced also in EE2.
