In FE (→GE1), there is no  raising b2 to b2. The accidental was added in EE and subsequent GE.

The missing  asterisk must be considered an inaccuracy, hence in the main text we suggest adding this mark after b. 25. The same applies to analogous b. 171. A mark was added in EE as well as in GE2 (→GE3), although slightly moved.

The sources are lacking in the  lowering d2 to d2, which is a patent inaccuracy, repeated almost certainly after [A].

b. 57

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In the main text we add a  before e2, the 10th note from the end of the bar. Due to the previous  before e3, this accidental was sometimes considered superfluous – it is absent in FE (→GE1) – yet it was added in EE and GE2 (→GE3). Moreover, we add a cautionary  before b2 by the end of the run.

The notation of the sources, in which the L.H. is written under the R.H. in a way suggesting that the run should start right after the b-g1 quaver is almost certainly erroneous. If performed so, the beginning of the passage, descending from d4 and clearly based on the C7 chord, would fall on the g-e1 quaver, constituting an E major chord along with the previous ones. Due to this reason, in the main text we distribute the L.H. part in accordance with the rhythmic values of the first two R.H. notes and with the harmonic sense of the figuration written in small notes.
Moreover, in the main text we suggest adding a L.H. slur after similar figures in the preceding bar as well as in b. 17-18. A slur, running from the first out of two semiquavers, was also added in EE.
The same in b. 201.
