b. 285-286

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

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before e2 in bar 285 and a  before G in bar 286.

b. 285

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

f in A (→GE)

d in FE (→EE)
..

The version of FE (→EE) is most probably a Terzverschreibung error – in the recapitulation A has an almost unchanged accompaniment, with respect to the exposition, in the entire theme (from bar 273); there are also no visible traces of correction in print in FE.

b. 285-289

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

cresc. - - from bar 285 in A & GE2

cresc. in bars 285 & 287 in GE1 (→FE→EE)

cresc. - - [ - ] from bar 285 suggested by the editors

cresc. - - [ - ] from bar 287, our alternative suggestion
..

In the main text we give the cresc. written in bar 285 in A and extended by dashes to the end of bar 289 (we suggest to extend the dashes to the end of bar 290 so that they lead to a natural point, which in this case is  in bar 291). The repetition of the indication present in GE1 (→FE→EE) in bar 287, unjustified in this context, signalises a possible mistake. An alternative suggestion is based on a less likely assumption that Chopin, while proofreading GE1, wanted to move  to bar 287, but the proofreading was implemented only partially.

b. 285

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

No slur in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur in EE & GE3
..

The missing slur in FE (→GE1→GE2) must be an oversight of the engraver (or of Chopin in [A]) – cf. all 7 similar bars.

b. 285

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

 in FE

Shifted  in GE

Longer  in EE
..

Since the obvious destination of the  hairpin is the  in the next bar, in the main text, we extend the mark present in FE correspondingly. An identical retouch was introduced already in EE, whereas in GE, the mark was moved (without extending it), so that it reaches the end of the bar.
