b. 52
When writing A, Chopin overlooked the fact that in the passage ending the run a is necessary not only before the last note but also four notes earlier in order to lower c3 to c flat3 (or only before that earlier note, depending on the adopted principle for accidentals before notes with an octave sign). The error was corrected in GE (→FE) by moving the before the fifth note counting from the end of the bar. In EE this corrected notation was supplemented by again adding the sign before the last note.
