b. 221

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

..

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before f3. The accidental was added only in GE3. Interestingly, FE includes a cautionary  before f​​​​​​​1 in the L.H., which was not repeated both in GE and EE1 (→EE2). The accidental may have been added in the last phase of proofreading, which would explain its absence in GE; in EE, it was overlooked or considered unnecessary (it was added in EE3).

b. 221

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

..

In FE, there is no  raising b2 to b​​​​​​​2. The inaccuracy, most probably repeated after [A], was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 221

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

d1-f​​​​​​​1 tied in FE (→GE,EE)

d1-f​​​​​​​1 repeated in FEH

Our variant suggestion
..

In FEH, the ties of the d1-f1 third were crossed out. The authenticity of this variant seems to be highly likely if we take into account a number of other, almost certainly Chopinesque, variants entered into that copy. The manner the marks were crossed out resembles the Chopinesque one – cf. e.g. crossings-out in the pupil's copy of the Nocturne in D​​​​​​​ Major, Op. 27 No. 2, bar 45. In the main text, we signalise the possibility of omitting the ties with brackets.

b. 221-226

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No sign in A (→FE→EE)

 in FC (→GE1)

Longer  in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we give the almost six-bar  mark entered by Chopin into FC (→GE1). The subsequent GE slightly extended the hairpin, leading it to the end of b. 226.
