b. 13

composition: Op. 28 No. 6, Prelude in B minor

Quavers in A (→FE,FC→GE)

Crotchet in EE
..

The EE version is certainly an engraver's mistake overlooked by the revisers of the subsequent impressions.

b. 22-23

composition: Op. 28 No. 6, Prelude in B minor

B1 tied in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE) & CGS

H1 repeated in FES

Our variant suggestion
..

A mark annotated on FES is probably meant to cancel the tie to B1. The repetition of B1 is also possibly suggested by the fingering written into FEJ – the fifth finger in sequence under B1 in bar 22, and B1 and B in bar 23. The repeated B1 in bar 23 may be seen as advantageous in view of the rhythm of the basic motif and the original pedalling. Taking this into account we suggest a variant version in the main text – a tie in parantheses.
