b. 214-215

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

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

In these bars, the fingering of FEH could have been written by Chopin, hence we include it in the main text. It is compliant with Fontana's fingering in EE.

b. 214-218

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

..

In the main text, we add cautionary sharps before d​​​​​​​ in bars 214 and 218. The accidentals were added both in GE and EE; however, there is no  in bar 218 in EE1 (it appears only just in EE2).

b. 214-219

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

From b. 186 to b. 219, the text of FE, encompassing pp. 17-18, is identical to b. 42-75 (pp. 9-10), since it was only two plates that were used to print these four pages in FE, out of which each was provided with double pagination.

b. 214

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

Chord with e1 in A, probable reading

Chord with no e1 in A (possible reading→FE→GE,EE)
..

On the basis of the available photograph of A, it is difficult to say whether the chord at the beginning of the bar includes e1. It is difficult to assess such situations even on the basis of original manuscripts, e.g. in the Etude in A, Op. 10 No. 10, b. 76 (a, interpreted by the engraver and probably inexistent) or in the Etude in G, Op. 10 No. 5, b. 15 (overlooked e1, probably existent). As it would be the only difference between these two otherwise identical four-bar sections, we consider it unlikely that Chopin would have wanted to introduce such a subtle difference into these dashing and energetic phrases.
