b. 8-9

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

Slur up to bar 9 in A

Slur only in bar 8 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

While the slur of A ends in bar 9, it is not obvious whether it is actually supposed to reach the F quaver. Therefore, the interpretation of GE (→FE→EE) is equally justified.

issues: Inaccurate slurs in A

b. 8

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

..

In Atut (→FE), there is no  restoring d1. Chopin's patent mistake was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 8

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

Accent in Atut

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)
..

We consider the missing accent in FE (→GE,EE) to be the engraver's oversight.

b. 8

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

Fingering digit in Atut

Fingering in Atut, interpretation suggested by the editors

No fingering in FE (→GE,EE)
..

According to us, the distinct dash visible in Atut on the right-hand side of the last chord is a fingering digit (1), referring to the d1-e1 second. Its omission in FE (→GE,EE) is probably a result of misunderstanding this mark (or a simple oversight). In the main text, we add a brace indicating the notes this digit applies to.

b. 8

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In GE1 the middle note of the 2nd chord in the R.H. is a d3 instead of c3. A comparison with the other sources and analogous bars proves that it is a mistake, corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
