b. 38

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

The last note in the 1st L.H. figure was probably written down as g in A, which Chopin then turned to b; eventually, he crossed it out and rewrote b. As is the case with many similar situations, it is not preceded by a , which was corrected in FC (→GE) and EE.

b. 66-70

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

In A (→FE,FC→GE), both in b. 66 and 70, there is no before the 14th note of the roulade (b¹). Taking into account the fact that the note was initially preceded by a b² note written at the same pitch (under an octave sign), we do not consider it a mistake. In the main text we add the accidental; it is also in EE.
