b. 235

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

 in A (literal reading→GE1→FE) & GE2

No sign in GE1a

 in A (contextual interpretation) & EE
..

When interpreted literally, the  sign in A (→GE1→FE) suggests pressing pedal on the 5th, 6th or even 7th quaver in the bar. According to us, it is an inaccurate notation – Chopin had already little space under the note and writing the sign before would be even more misleading. According to us, it is EE that interpreted the composer's intention correctly.

In all copies of GE1a, the discussed sign was overlooked as a result of an inaccurately performed graphic proofreading of bars 235-236.

b. 235

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

Long accent in A (→GE1→FE)

No mark in GE1a

Short accent in EE & GE2
..

Change of the type of accent to short is one of many inaccuracies of this kind in EE and GE2.
In all copies of GE1a, the discussed sign was overlooked as a result of an inaccurately performed graphic proofreading of bars 235-236.

Single-voice notation in A

Quaver g2 in upper voice in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Separating the g2 quaver may be a specification of notation introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2).

b. 235

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Hairpin in FE (→GE) & EE3

No mark in EE1 (→EE2)
..

The missing ​​​​​​​ hairpin in EE1 (→EE2) is a mistake of the engraver. The mark was added only just by the reviser of EE3.

b. 235

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

No mark in FE (→EE)

Staccato dot in GE
..

The missing differentiation of this bass note (with a staccato dot) is most probably an oversight – cf. all remaining bass notes in this section. Two bars earlier, a respective note is actually provided with a crotchet stem, yet we consider it to be a mistake.
