b. 454-463

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary flats before b2 at the beginning of bars 454, 455 and 462. The signs were added also in EE3. In bar 463, being the last similar situation, a respective   was added by Chopin already in A (→GE→FE→EE).

b. 455

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

..

In A the only accidental before the 1st chord in the R.H. is the cautionary  before e2. From the musical point of view, the version with d3 would be possible, yet a comparison with analogous bar 425 and a  of d3 added – probably by Chopin – already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) prove Chopin's mistake. Chopin committed the same mistake in a similar context in bar 423.
In the main text we omit the unjustified  before e2.

e3 in A (literal reading→GE→FE1)

e3 in A (contextual interpretation) & FE2

e3 & e3 in EE
..

Just like in bars 422-423, the flats lowering e3 to e3 and the cautionary  before e2 in the L.H. in bar 463 prove that the version of A (→GE→FE1), interpreted literally, is erroneous. In EE, a respective  is only in bar 463 (together with a  before e2), which is probably a result of an oversight of the sign in bar 462.

b. 462

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

Just like in b. 360, A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE1) features a reminding  before g1. The mark, superfluous in this context, was removed in GE2 (→GE3) and EE2 (→EE3).
