No bottom g1 is certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE (→EE).

In FE1 (→FE2→FE3) the 1st note in the L.H. is an A. The mistake was corrected in FESch, EE and FE4, the correct G is also in GC (→GE).

3 accents in GC

2 accents in FE

2 accents in GE

2 vertical accents in EE
..

There are differences between the editions, as far as the presence of accents under the bass octaves is concerned:

  • no sign in FE (→EE) in b. 226 is probably an oversight of the engraver, since it seems unlikely that the accent in GC could have been added by Chopin;
  • the missing sign in GE in b. 227 is most probably due to the overlapping marks in GC, i.e.  and an accent;
  • the change of the font of accents in EE is an arbitrary decision typical of this edition.

b. 229

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

..

FE has an G1-F seventh as the 2nd quaver. The mistake was not noticed in any of the proofreadings, it was, however, corrected in EE, which could have been performed by the reviser. GC (→GE) features the correct text.

    in GC & EE

   in FE

No pedalling in GE
..

The absence of the last  sign in FE is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE (the sign was added in EE). We also regard as an undoubted mistake the total omission of the pedalling in GE (cf. the note on the accent).
