b. 375-376

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

g tied in EE & GC (→GE)

No tie in FE
..

Lack of tie on g in FE must have been the engraver's omission.

b. 375

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

d3 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), literal reading

d3 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), contextual interpretation, & in GE3
..

The missing  must be Chopin's oversight – in two previous bars, d notes are featured on several occasions as elements of chords and belong to the F​​​​​​​ minor key, consolidated in the discussed bar. Oversights of accidentals are very frequent in Chopin's oeuvre in such a context. The version with d3 is also supported by analogy with bar 379. Chopin added a  in FED; however, it was only just in GE3 that it was added in print.

b. 375

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

We add cautionary flats before d3 & d1 in the main text.

b. 375-376

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

g-e1 repeated in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

g-e1 tied in GE2 (→GE3) & FESf
..

A comparison with analogous bars (b. 273-274, 293-294 and 396-397) points to Chopin's mistake, almost certain. Therefore, in the main text we include the ties added in GE2 (→GE3). Both ties were added in FESf.

b. 375-396

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A (→FE→EE)

2 longer  in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we give the  hairpin written by Chopin in b. 375-376 and 396-397 in FC (→GE). In subsequent GE the marks were arbitrarily extended after b. 273-274.
