In FE, there are no sharps before the 6th semiquaver in the L.H. (c​​​​​​​2) and the middle semiquavers on the 3rd beat of the bar in the R.H. (c3 and d3). All those patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE, whereas in EE it was only the mark in the L.H. that was added.

b. 482-484

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In FE, there are no accidentals before the 7th semiquaver in the L.H. in bar 482 and the penultimate semiquaver in the R.H. in bars 483 and 484. Therefore, those notes should be interpreted as f and f1, which would interfere with the regularity of the figuration, undoubtedly intended here by Chopin. The first two oversights were corrected in GE and in EE2 (→EE3), probably on the basis thereof. The mistake in bar 484 remained uncorrected in all editions.

..

In FE, there is no  raising c3 to c​​​​​​​3. The patent mistake was corrected in GE and EE. In turn, the missing  restoring g3, necessary in this context, even as a cautionary accidental, was added only in GE.

 in FE (→EE), contextual interpretation

No accidental in GE
..

In FE (→EE), the sharp is placed over the grupetto mark. The patent mistake was corrected in GE by removing the erroneous mark. In the main text, we move the  to under the grupetto, since c​​​​​​​2 as the bottom note of the grupetto seems to be more natural than c2, and the intended mark  () having been misplaced is more likely than the erroneous one having been added in a place where it was totally absent.
