b. 644

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In EE and FE we leave out redundant sharps before e and e1 in the last chord of the bar. The sharps are present in GC (→GE1) but the lower  is erroneously notated on g. In GE2 the accidntal was removed.

b. 644

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

..

In this bar, FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) contains a few poorly justified cautionary accidentals – naturals before c3 and a1 (the 3rd quaver) and a  repeated before d​​​​​​​2 on the 4th quaver.​​​​​​​ GE3 removed the last two accidentals.

b. 652-653

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

..

In the main text, we omit the unnecessarily repeated sharps before c2 and a​​​​​​​1 in the 2nd group of semiquavers. The former was removed already in GE1 (→GE2), the latter – in GE3.

b. 653

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

..

FE overlooked the  lowering e2 to e​​​​​​​2. The accidental was added in the remaining editions. All editions except GE3 include an unnecessarily repeated  (cautionary?) before the last semiquaver.
