There is only one before the chord at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar in AsI and A, a to the bottom note (the b2 semiquaver). What is more, in A the accidental was written inaccurately, above the semiquaver, as a result of which GE1 assigned it to d3. Both missing naturals were added in the stage of proofreading of that edition. Chopin's patent oversight was corrected right away in GE1, hence all editions contain the right text (the fact that the to d3 was printed first is evidenced by the arrangement of the naturals and by the slight difference in size between the of d3 and the two remaining ones). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Errors of A , Accidental below/above the note , Inaccuracies in A |

As far as the naturals raising e to e in the 2nd half of bar 255 are concerned, in A Chopin was satisfied with accidentals to the L.H. chord (e1) and the 3rd demisemiquaver (e3). The remaining 3 naturals necessary later in the passage were added by GE (→FE,EE). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Accidentals in different octaves , Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in EE , GE revisions , Accidental below/above the note , Inaccuracies in A |

The flat to the 7th semiquaver (d3) is written in A much below the pitch of the note, that is at the pitch of a2. Such inaccuracies, generally without an influence on the text reading, are frequent in Chopin's autographs. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Accidental below/above the note |
