..

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.

b. 111

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

..

In FE1 (→FE2→FE3,EE1), the  before the last chord was erroneously placed at the pitch of d1. The mistake was corrected in FE4 and EE2. In the main text we add a cautionary  before this note.

b. 112

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

..

There are no accidentals before the chord on the L.H. on the 2nd beat of the bar in GC and FE (→EE1). The necessary  raising c1 to c1 was added in GE and EE2. In the main text we add a cautionary  before e1.

b. 113

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

..

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.

dimin.  in GC (→GE)

No markings in FE1 & GE1

dimin. in bar 118 in FE2 (→FE3→FE4)

dim. in bar 118 in EE
..

In the main text, we give dimin. in bar 117 (together with  in bars 118-120), in accordance with GC (and GE2), including more accurate dynamic indications (it is not entirely clear, whether the employed in GC abbreviation is dimin. or dim.; Chopin would use both). Placing the indication in FE2 (→EE,FE3→FE4) only in the next bar may be inaccurate. The absence of the indication in FE1 and GE1 is certainly a mistake.
