b. 210

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

e in A (→GE)

g in FE (→EE)
..

The version of FE (→EE) could be considered a result of Chopin's proofreading. However, it can be a quite frequent so-called Terzverschreibung error, i.e. erroneously printing a note a third away from the correct one. In the main text we give the probably authentic, later version of FE. According to us, the earlier, yet undoubtedly authentic, version of A can be considered to be equal.

b. 210-211

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

No sign in FE (→GE)

..

We suggest adding a  hairpin, as it is in analogous bars 92-93. The mark was added, most probably by comparison with those bars, by the reviser of EE.

b. 210

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

Short accents in FE (→GE)

Vertical accents in EE
..

Changing the accent's font to vertical is a characteristic manner of the engravers of EE.

b. 210-211

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

No mark in FE (→GE,EE1)

Hairpin in EE2 (→EE3)

Hairpin suggested by the editors
..

We suggest adding a  patterned after analogous bars 206-207. A marking, slightly shorter, was also added by the reviser of EE2 (→EE3).

b. 210-214

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Staccato dots in GE

No marks in FE (→EE)
..

Chopin could have added the staccato dots to [A] (→GE) after [FC], on which FE (→EE) was based, had already been finished. As was the case with b. 190-195, the difference has no impact on the performance, while in the main text we give the more accurate notation of GE.
