b. 366

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

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

Fontana's fingering, indicated only next to the notes written on the bottom stave, defines a scheme for the entire passage. In FEH, the same fingering was marked also in the 2nd half of the bar.

b. 366

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

 under G1-G in A

No sign in GE (→FE)

at end of bar in EE
..

The absence of an  asterisk in GE (→FE) must be of an accidental nature. The engraver of GE1 probably omitted it, since it was difficult to squeeze it in the right place. The reviser of EE was close to guessing Chopin's idea.

b. 367

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No indication in EE & FE

tempo primo in GC

tempo Io in GE

Our suggestion
..

A tempo primo marking visible in GC was not put down by Chopin, however there is no doubt about its authenticity. In GE  it was replaced with a conventional marking used in such situations and in the main text we adopt a similar solution.

b. 367

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

..

Chopin wrote two cautionary signs in A – a  before c2 in bar 367 and a  before a2 in bar 368. GE (→FE) added also a  before c in bar 367, which was then removed or overlooked in EE1 (→EE2) and re-added in EE3. In the main text we also add naturals before g2(3) and a  before b in bar 367.
