..

The last three semiquavers in A (→GE1→FE) are devoid of accidentals. This inaccurate notation, characteristic for Chopin particularly in his early pieces, was corrected in EE and GE2.
Moreover, in FE there is no  before c2, which was added in EE. In A there is no  before c1 in the part of the L.H. The sign was added in GE (→FE→EE), although it is not necessary in this layout (similarly as the two previous signs in the part of the L.H.).

b. 227-228

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

..

The notation of accidentals in this passage is very inaccurate in A, particularly in the part of the R.H., in which only the 1st half of bar 228 includes all necessary signs. Luckily, it does not impede the correct interpretation of the text. In the editions the signs were gradually added, but only GE2 and EE3 have the fully correct text.
