b. 279

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE & GC (→GE)

 in FE
..

The  mark, appearing only in FE, seems very much in place from the musical point of view. This is also the only version that is definitely authentic, as the absence of that mark in GC (→GE) may be accidental, and in EE it is almost certainly so (cf. bar 275).

b. 279

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

..

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before the last f​​​​​​​1. The accidental was added already in GE.

b. 279

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

In FE (→EE1) the double grace note before the 3rd crotchet in the bar is A-B, which is a mistake and which results in two identical notes. The error was rectified in EE2.

b. 279

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Wedge in A, contextual interpretation

No mark in GE (→FE,EE)
..

Over the L.H. octave in A there is a staccato dot crossed through with a vertical line. According to us, it was most probably supposed to be a wedge with which Chopin wanted to replace the initial dot. However, in GE (→FE,EE) the correction was understood as a deletion of the mark, which, although possible, we consider less likely.

b. 280-282

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No sign in EE

 in GC (→GE) & FE
..

In EE,  the  mark was either omitted (see the note to bar 275), or misread as a L.H. slur.
