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

A has an a1 as the last note in the L.H. It is almost certainly a mistake – cf. analogous figures in bars 300, 302 and 304-306. Mistakes in the number of ledger lines are the most frequent pitch errors committed by Chopin (excluding those related to the notation of accidentals). GE (→FE→EE) features the correct text, which can be ascribed to Chopin's proofreading or a fortunate mistake, since there are no visible traces of correction in print, whereas the note in A, despite three ledger lines, is written lower than the previous g1.
In the discussed place, there is a visible correction in A. The deletions are actually very precise, yet their placement allows us to indicate e1 and d1 as possibly crossed out original (or only erroneous) last two notes.

b. 296

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

..

In FE1 the last note of the triplet is printed a third higher, by mistake, as a b1. The mistake was corrected in FE2, perhaps by Chopin.

Wedge in A

Dot in GE1

No mark in FE (→EE)

Dots in both hands in GE2

The clear wedge of A is certainly the only authentic version of the markings of the 1st crotchet in the bar.
