..

There are no quaver rests at the end of b. 6 and 7 in GC (→GE). It is probably the copyist's mistake.

..

In GC (→GE) there is no  sign at the beginning of the bar. It is a patent error – all sources include a  at the end of bar 15.

..

GC and FE1 (→FE2→FE3) do not include naturals before the octave on the 4th quaver of the bar. The flats before g2 and g1 in the 2nd half of the bar prove Chopin's oversight. The naturals were added in GE and EE, as well as in FE4.

b. 23

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

No accidental in GC (→GE), FE1 (→FE2) & EE

 raising d2 to d2 in FE3 (→FE4)
..

The natural raising d2 to d2, added – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE3 (→FE4) is most likely a correction of a mistake and not a new version of this detail. The bottom notes of the dyads (and in the chords also the middle ones), unless they are an octave doubling of the top voice, always belong to the components of a current chord in the entire section comprising bars 17-36.

b. 37

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

Minim without dot in GC (→GE1)

Dotted minim in FE (→ EE) and GE2
..

This is probably the copyist's omission, repeated in GE1 and corrected in GE2.
