  b. 46

No sign in A (→FE,FC→GE)

in EE

The omission of the  mark at the end of the Prelude is quite frequently encountered in Chopin's pieces and almost certainly not accidental – cf. the ending of the Prelude No. 7 in A Major. The mark added in EE is therefore certainly inauthentic and inconsistent with Chopin's intention.
