Chopin omitted  signs quite frequently at the end of pieces. In this case, however, the oversights by the engravers of FE (→EE) and GE are more probable.

The missing  in A is most probably Chopin's neglect. However, it is not entirely certain whether it was he that added the sign in the proofreading of GE (→FE→EE).

The missing  mark in FE (→GE1→GE2) must be a mistake, one of a few in this fragment. It was added in the remaining editions.

b. 260

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

No sign in A

No sign in A

 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The absence of  in A must be an oversight – it is the last bar on the page in A, which is conducive to various types of inaccuracies of notation. The sign was added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), perhaps at Chopin's request.
