b. 336

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

c2 in A & GE2

b1 in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

According to us, the version of GE1 (→FE→EE) is a result of a misunderstanding of the sense of the proofreading in the previous bar. The engraver probably considered the c2 crotchet to be related to the trill and constituting its ending. Since in the proofreading a change of the trilled note was marked, he assumed that the crotchet is also to be corrected.

b. 336

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

Long accent under e2 in A

Accent after e2 in GE1

Short accent under c2 in FE (→EE)

Short accent under e2 in GE2
..

The long accent on the 1st beat of the bar in A was reproduced in GE1 inaccurately, by shortening the sign and placing it closer to the 2nd beat of the bar. As a result, FE (→EE) include an accent on the 2nd beat of the bar, which is a mistake. GE2 corrected the placement of the sign, but not its length.

Staccato dot suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we add a staccato dot, since the missing staccato in this place is most probably an inaccuracy – Chopin indicated short articulation in all three analogous b. 344, 438 & 446.
