b. 438

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

No mark in FE & EE1

Wedge in GE & EE2 (→EE3)
..

The missing staccato mark for the 1st quaver in the L.H. must be considered an inadvertence of Chopin or of the engraver of FE in this case. The wedge was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 438

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Staccato dot in A (→FE→EE)
..

The missing staccato dot is most probably an oversight of FC (→GE).

b. 438-439

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Slur to g in A (→FC,FE→EE)

Slur to bar 439 in GE1

No slur in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The slur in FC resembles the slur of A, yet it is slightly longer, which misled the engraver of GE1. The subsequent GE omitted that slur, which, from the point of view of the reviser of GE2, was a reasonable decision: among 16 bars featuring b-e1 on the 2nd crotchet and g on the third one, it is only here that FC and GE1 feature a slur, which could seem a mistake.

b. 439

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

c2 in EE & GC (→GE)

c2 in FE
..

In FE, the lack of  raising c2 to c2 was most probably omitted. However, it is also possible for harmony to retain a version with c2.
