b. 327

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

..

In the main text, we add cautionary naturals before a2 and b1 (the last semiquaver) and omit the  before g3 present in the sources. The first of the naturals was added already in GE and EE2 (→EE3), whereas the second – in EE and GE3. Moreover, both GE and EE include a cautionary  before c4.

The missing  hairpin is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE, although one cannot exclude the possibility that the mark was added in the last proofreading of FE.
Just like in the case of crescendo in bar 323, one can assume that the fact that both   marks were placed under the L.H. part resulted from lack of space in [A], since in this case, the hairpin emphasises the topmost point of the sequence, which would be much more legible if it were placed next to the moving part of the figuration, hence between the top notes of the L.H. and the R.H. part. This is how the  hairpin in bar 328 was interpreted in GE3. We suggest this solution, including both marks, as a variant.

The missing  in GE suggests that it was added in the last phase of proofreading of FE. In GE3, the absence of the dynamic marking at the beginning of the Tutti was considered a mistake, and ​​​​​​​ was arbitrarily added in bar 327.

b. 327

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In GE1 (→FE1,EE1→EE2) there are no accidentals to the fifth on the 2nd quaver in the bar, which would result in B-f. The oversight was corrected in GE2 (→GE3,FESB), FE2 and EE3.

Staccato dots in A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE)
..

As before, all staccato marks used by Chopin, in this case dots, were arbitrarily reproduced in GE as wedges.
In FESB both marks in bar 327 were overlooked; we do not regard this incomplete version as an independent variant.
