b. 298

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

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering digit, written in FED between the staves, could also refer to d1 in the R.H., which is, however, much less likely from the pianistic point of view.

b. 298

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

..

The traces of proofreading in print, visible in FE, allow us to state that the penultimate semiquaver was initially a b1. It was most probably the original version, since it seems to be highly unlikely that the note could have been printed by mistake.

b. 298

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No markings in sources

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

Like in analogous b. 65, in the main text we suggest adding pedal markings on the 1st beat of the bar after a comparison with b. 39, which is basically identical.

b. 298-300

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In R.H. figurations Chopin considers accidentals to be valid also in adjacent octaves. Therefore, in A there are no flats to the 9th, 12th and 15th semiquavers in bar 298 (a2, d3, g3), the 14th semiquaver in bar 299 (d3) and the 2nd and 18th semiquavers in bar 300 (d1, c1). All necessary flats were added already in GE (→FE,EE).
There are more accidentals in #ApI than in A, both necessary (3rd, 4th and 6th among those mentioned above, with the omitted flats to d2 in bar 299 and to a1 in bar 300), and unnecessarily repeated ones (flats to g2 at the end of bar 298 and to c2 on the 3rd beat of bar 300, and also a  to a2 in bar 299), as well as a cautionary  to a1 in bar 299).
