There is an unjustified  (cautionary?) before the A crotchet in GE. It is difficult to tell whether the accidental was already in [AG], and if not, whether it was added by the reviser or by Chopin.

Both autographs are lacking in the  before the 2nd L.H. quaver (d). The inaccuracy was removed in FE (→EE), which in the case of such a patent defect could have been performed by the reviser. The correct text is also in GE.
Before e1 on the 3rd beat of the bar, all sources except for GE feature a superfluous .

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

..

The autographs are lacking in cautionary accidentals in this bar. In FE (→EE) a  was added before the d crotchet; the sign is also present in GE. Moreover, in EE a  was added before the c1 crotchet. In the main text we include both accidentals.

In AI there is no  lowering c1 to c1, moreover, AI and AF lack a  lowering C to C. The inaccuracy of AF was corrected in FE (→EE); it is also GE that features the correct text.
Before e1 on the 3rd beat, all sources except for GE contain a superfluous .

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before d. The accidental was also added in EE.
Following the example of GE, we omit the  before a1 at the end of the bar, which was unnecessarily repeated in the remaining sources.
