All sources repeated a on the e2 sound, which implies that it was written by Chopin in [A]. It is a superfluous cautionary sign so we omit it in the main text.

b. 37

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

..

GC (→GE) has a cautionary  before the minim g2. The missing sign in FE (→EE) could be an oversight by the engraver. However, the sign is superfluous here and we do not include it in the main text.

b. 85-88

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

In the main text we add a cautionary  next to the top note (g) of the last chord in each of these bars. These accidentals appear in the sources only in bar 86 (in GE and EE2) and in bar 87 (in all sources).
