The cautionary naturals before b1 and a1 were added while proofreading FE (→EE). The former is also in GE, perhaps also added at the proofreading stage. They are absent in the preserved autographs.

The version of EE is a patent Terzverschreibung. Moreover, the sources differ in the number of cautionary naturals before this chord – two (a and a1) in AI and GE versus one (a only) in AF (→FE→EE).

b. 149-151

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

..

In b. 149 and 151 the autographs are devoid of cautionary accidentals. In the first stage of proofreading of FE (→EE) a  was added before b in b. 151; the accidental is also present in GE. In the second stage of proofreading of FE a  before b was also added in b. 149; moreover, a  was repeated before the R.H. b note on the 3rd beat of the bar.
We include both naturals in the main text.

..

AI is lacking in a  restoring f1 on the 2nd beat of the bar; in turn, it features a superfluous  before c1. All the remaining sources contain the necessary sign before f1, yet it is only GE in which there is no  before c1.
