b. 413-421

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

Wedge in bar 413 in A

Dot in bar 413 in GE

No marks in FE (→EE)

Wedges in bars 413 & 421 suggested by the editors
..

The wedge at the beginning of bar 413 was reproduced in GE as a dot. In FE (→EE) the sign was overlooked. No staccato mark in analogous bar 421 must be Chopin's oversight: it is the first bar on a new page of A, which was frequently related to various inaccuracies of notation.

b. 413-415

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

..

In the main text we omit the cautionary naturals before e2 at the beginning of bars 413 and 415 and before e1 in bar 413. Although the change of key to F major was confirmed by the key signature, on a number of occasions, Chopin wrote unjustified naturals before e notes also later – cf. e.g. bars 424 or 428.

b. 413-414

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

Slur in FE

Slur in GE1 (→GE2)

Slurs in EE

Dots & slur in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

The missing first slur in FE (→GE1→GE2) must be an oversight, corrected in EE. The inaccurate slur of GE1 (→GE2) was replaced in GE3 with arbitrary indications, i.e. staccato dots and a slur, adopted in this edition in all similar places.

b. 413

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

 in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The missing  in GE is most probably an oversight, although it is possible that the hairpin was omitted due to lack of space or an alleged conflict with the ​​​​​​​ mark between the staves.

b. 413

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

d3 w FE (→GE,EE)

d3 suggested by the editors
..

The missing accidental before the 2nd semiquaver is probably an oversight (of the engraver or of Chopin himself). It is indicated by the situation in bar 414 in which the necessary  before d​​​​​​​3 – unquestionable in that case – is also missing.
