b. 396-399

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

Wedges in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

No marks in GE3
..

The absence of wedges in GE3 seems to be intentional – the marks in these bars could have been considered erroneous, whereas Chopin could have wanted to mark in this way only the final progression (from bar 402). According to us, it is more likely that it is the missing marks in bars 399-402 that are a result of an oversight.

b. 397

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 in EE & GC (→GE)

Long accent in FE
..

Long accent present in FE may well be perceived as optional interpretation of the remaining sources notation.

b. 397-398

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

c2 tied in A, FE (→EE) & GE2

c2 repeated in GE1
..

The engraver of GE1 did not understand the notation of A and omitted both ties of c2. The mistake was corrected in FE (→EE), probably by Chopin. The correct interpretation of A was introduced also in GE2. See also bars 401-403.

b. 397-398

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

Accents in A & GE2

No marks in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The missing accents over the c2 minims is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2.

b. 397-398

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

 in bar 397 in A (→GE→FE)

 in both bars in EE
..

The  marking was placed in FE before the chord on the 3rd beat in bar 397. This kind of placement is not something unusual, yet, together with the small gaps between the notes, it could have misled the engraver or reviser of EE. Repetition of  in bar 389, also before the c2 minim, suggests that such a placement was considered to be more likely due to the absence of any accents on these minims, differently than in analogous bars 53-54 and 57-58, in which EE has a  and bars 401-402, which include accents.
