b. 439

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

Short accent in A (probable reading) & GE2

Long accent in A (possible reading→GE1→FE→EE)
..

The accent in A may be interpreted as both short and long. According to us, the use of a short accent is more likely – the top, shorter arm, written first, seems to convey Chopin's intention better. However, the sign was interpreted in such a way only in GE2.

b. 439

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

No mark in A (→GE→FE)

Accent in EE
..

The accent added on the d1 minim in EE is most probably a revision (unification with the previous bars), although due to the similarity of the bars, a mistake cannot be excluded.

b. 439

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Crotchet e in FE (→EE)

Quaver e in GE
..

In GE, the lack of crotchet stem for e​ is most probably an oversight by the engraver.

b. 440

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Cautionary sharps before d1 and d2 in EE must be arbitrary additions as they cannot be found in any other sources. Compare b. 445.
