b. 243

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

L.H. accent in A

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)

 in GE2
..

The accent over the sixth in the L.H. in the middle of the bar was overlooked in GE1 (→FE→EE) and returned in GE2 in the form of a sign at the height of the previous  sign. The notation of A is quite ambiguous here, yet Chopin clearly assigned the accent to the part of the L.H. in a similar figure two bars later.

FE1 has an erroneous c2 instead of an e2 as the 5th semiquaver. The mistake was corrected in FE2 (→EE).

In A (→GE→FE) there is no  before the 8th semiquaver (d3). This patent inaccuracy was corrected only in EE.

b. 243-245

 in A & GE2

No signs in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The absence of  signs in bars 243 and 245 in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly a mistake. The signs were added in GE2.

Tied g in A

There is an evident non-compliance of the part of the L.H. in A with the cello and double bass sequence in Morch within ½A:
.
In the version of GE, coming probably from Chopin, the harmonically inexplicable middle pedal note g was removed in bar 244. Chopin introduced full compliance of the bass sequence in the piano and orchestra in the proofreading of FE (→EE), which we present in the main text.
