b. 305-306

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

..

In A there is not any  raising e2(3,4) to e2(3,4). It is almost certainly Chopin's mistake – if he were to hear e in this place, he would have used a cautionary flat in this context. The composer also omitted the naturals raising d1(2) to d1(2), which clearly proves that the figures (whose sound, written after so many repetitions, he regarded as obvious) were written hastily and inaccurately. Anyway, the naturals (e2, d2 and e4) added in the proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) and uncontested by the composer both in FE and FED clearly prove his intention. In EE, naturals were added also next to d1 and d4, whereas in GE2 – next to e3.

b. 305-308

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

dolciss. - - in A

dolciss. in GE (→FE→EE)

dolciss. - - [-] suggested by the editors
..

The absence of the dashes marking the range of the dolciss. indication must be an inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE). In the main text, we extend the dashes to the end of the passage.

b. 305

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

FE (→EE1) has a c​​​​​​​1 in the chord at the end of the bar. It must be a mistake (false relation with the preceding note in the R.H., c2). The erroneous ​​​​​​​ was removed in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 305-306

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

Slurs in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slurs in EE

Slurs in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding a slur on the 1st beat of bar 305 on the basis of a comparison with the next bar. A longer slur in bar 306 is most probably an inaccuracy of EE. The whole-bar slurs in GE3 are probably modelled after the slur in bar 289.
