b. 323

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

..

The cautionary flat before b1 was added in the proofreading of FE (→EE) as well as in GE2. In the case of FE, one cannot exclude Chopin's intervention, although the revision of GE2 proves that such an addition could have also been performed by the reviser.

b. 327

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In GE1 (→FE1,EE1→EE2) there are no accidentals to the fifth on the 2nd quaver in the bar, which would result in B-f. The oversight was corrected in GE2 (→GE3,FESB), FE2 and EE3.

b. 327-328

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

As in previous analogous sequences, Chopin did not see the reason to write accidentals to the topmost notes of the ascending triplets. In GE1 (→FE,EE) only 2 sharps in bar 328 were added, c3 and g3, while in GE2 (→GE3,FESB) a  to e3 was also added. The two necessary sharps in bar 327 were added only in GE3 and FESB.

b. 329-330

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

As in many similar situations, in A the majority of the necessary accidentals are missing – Chopin wrote accidentals only to the 2nd quaver in bar 329 (e2-e3-g3-e4) and the next semiquaver (b3), the penultimate semiquaver in bar 329 (b1), the bottom note of the 2nd triplet in bar 330 (g) and the bottom note of the 6th triplet in bar 330 (d1). Assuming that the accidentals of the first two-quaver figure of the passage are also valid in the second one, all necessary accidentals were already added in GE1 (FE,EE,GE2→FESB,GE3). In FE a  to e2 on the 4th L.H. quaver in bar 329 was also added.
