b. 108

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

g-d1 in GC & FE1 (→FE2)

b-d1 in GE, FE3 (→FE4) & EE
..

The compatible versions of GC and FE1 (→FE2) prove that such a notation was also in [A]. Chopin's highly likely mistake, probably related to the introduction of an enhanced version of the transition to the next phrase (it may be supposed that bar 108 was originally a repetition of bar 107, same as in two previous similar phrases), is proved by awkward in this context parallel A-a and G-g octaves, and, above all, Chopin proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) and base text to EE. The version of GE, in spite of being compatible with the authentic corrections, is most probably a luckily guessed revision, based on bar 128.

b. 110-114

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

..

In GC and FE1 (→FE2→EE1), there are no accidentals before the 3rd crotchet in bars 110 and 114. It is certainly an oversight of Chopin in [A], corrected in FE3 (→FE4). The naturals were added also in GE (in GE1 only in the top voice) and EE2.

There is no  before d1 in GC and FE (→EE1). Chopin's patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE2.

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.
