The version of GE1 featuring f2 on the 3rd quaver is most probably a mistake of the engraver. In GE2 f2 was rightly changed to g2; at the same time, a cautionary  was added before the latter. We include this addition, which we find justified, in the main text.

The missing a notes in the chords in the 2nd half of the bar are a mistake of the engraver of GE.

In GE the top notes of the 3rd and 4th quavers were misplaced, i.e. a third too low (3rd quaver, g-b-d1) or too high (4th quaver, g-f1-a1 when interpreted literally). In the manuscripts and GE those notes are placed on the top stave, among the R.H. quavers, which significantly hampers their interpretation.

b. 26

composition: Op. 28 No. 17, Prelude in A♭ major

..

In GE the bottom note of the 2nd L.H. quaver is an erroneous f. The mistake does not concern the natural present before that note, which is placed at the pitch of g.

In A (→FC,FE) accidentals were inserted very inaccurately – in total, 4 sharps and 12 naturals are missing – which, however, does not impede the determination of the correct text. Accidentals were being added in GE and EE, although it is only in EE2 that the notation is totally correct. The naturals before the b-b1 octave in b. 44 were also added in FED.
Interestingly enough, the notation of FCI is more accurate than the one of A – only one  and 5 naturals are missing.
