b. 499-500

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

Chopin overlooked in A (→FC,FE) two indispensable naturals: lowering g2 to g2 in b. 499 and c2 to c2 in b. 500. The former was added in GE1, the latter – in EE. It is only GE2 (→GE3) that contains the correct text.

b. 516

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In the main text, we omit the cautionary  before c3, present in all sources except GE3. In the same group of sources, there is no  before d​​​​​​​2, which we do not consider a mistake, since the first part of the roulade is written there with the use of an octave sign, so that the  before the 2nd semiquaver may be considered valid also here.

b. 541-543

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In A (→FC) there are no naturals before the crotchets ending the five-note groups (a2, a1 and a). Through a proof copy of FE, this mistake also found its way to EE1 (in FE the accidentals were added in the last phase of proofreading). The naturals are also present in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 649-650

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In FE, there are no sharps raising g2 to g2 (in both bars) and c3 to c​​​​​​​3 (in bar 649). In GE1 (→GE2), the first two were added; the notation in EE and GE3 is fully correct.
