..

In A there is no dot extending the a crotchet, which is a patent oversight. The dot is present in all the remaining sources.

b. 23

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

..

The first octave in the L.H. in A is a quaver, so that the bar includes only 7 quavers. The mistake was corrected in GE (→FEEE), by replacing the quaver with a crotchet, which we consider an accurate interpretation of the notation of A: Chopin probably erroneously repeated the rhythmic value of the chord in the R.H., as it was in the four previous bars.

b. 25-27

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

In bars 25-28 A initially had the rhythm . Later, Chopin was adding dots and beams, yet inaccurately, omitting the 2nd dot on the 2nd beat of bar 25 and on the 2nd and 3rd beats of bar 27. Those errors were corrected in GE (→FEEE).

The rhythm of A (interpretation)

GE1 (erroneous rhythm)

FE (→EE)

..

Determining Chopin's intention related to the rhythm on the 3rd beat of the bar seems impossible here. A erroneously has a quaver and two demisemiquavers () in the upper voice. The text of GE1 is also erroneous : . That latter rhythms was corrected both in GE2 (→GE3) and in FE (→EE). The version of GE2, although it is the work of the reviewer, may be considered an alternative to our interpretation of the rhythm of A. The version of FE may result from Chopin's correction, yet this is not certain.
