 between notes in FE (→GE1), literal reading

on first note in EE

on 2nd note in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The placement of the  mark in FE (→GE1) is unclear. In the main text we move the mark to the beginning of the bar, in accordance with the distinct markings in the two previous, analogous bars (this is how it was interpreted in EE). In turn, in GE2 (→GE3) the mark was placed only just at the beginning of the semiquaver passage, which is closer to the notation of FE in terms of the visual aspect and can be considered an acceptable variant.

Slur to d2 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The ending of the L.H. slur must be inaccurate in FE (→EE,GE1), even if FE faithfully reproduced the notation of [A]. In such a parallel passage, the fact that the hands are provided with different slurs is inconceivable; a comparison with the two previous bars proves that it is the R.H. slur that is correct. The longer slur was introduced in GE2 (→GE3).

..

In FE, there is no accidental next to the top note of the penultimate triplet. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in EE and GE2 (→GE3). There is a similar situation in the further part of the passage.

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE (→EE) the 1st rest in the parts of both hands is a demisemiquaver, which is a mistake (it is likely that the beginning of this bar was confused with the previous one). The mistake was corrected in GE.

b. 98-100

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE (→GE1), there are no naturals before the 3rd L.H. note in b. 98 (b), the 14th R.H. note in b. 99 (b2) and the 3rd L.H. note in b. 100 (B). The patent inaccuracies were corrected in EE only in the first of these places, whereas in GE2 (→GE3) only in the L.H.
