b. 311

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

FE1 lacks both the  raising e1 to e1 at the beginning of the bar, and the  restoring e1 two quavers later. In EE1 only a  before the 1st quaver was added, while in FE2 was also added only a , but before the 3rd quaver! Therefore, it was either misplaced or supposed to be a . The text of GE and EE2 (→EE3) is correct.

b. 311

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No marks in AsI & A

Wedges in GE (→FE,EE)
..

The wedges, added to the bass crotchets in GE1 certainly by mistake, were strangely consistently repeated by all the remaining editions. The source of the mistake could be the first crotchet stem, to f, which in A does not reach the notehead and therefore could have been considered a wedge.

b. 311

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In A the  restoring e2 is missing, which is a patent mistake – cf. bars 278 and 286. The accidental is present in AsI; it was also added in GE1 and repeated in the remaining editions. In the main text we also add a cautionary  to e1.

b. 311-315

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In bar 311, 313 and 315 Chopin overlooked in A some necessary accidentals in the final fragments of the R.H. passages, yet due to the fact that the entire fragment was written without an octave sign, the number of missing accidentals is lower than in the previous analogous passages – in bar 311 there are no naturals to the last two quavers; in bar 313 there are no sharps and naturals (5 accidentals in total) in the 2nd half of the bar; in bar 315 there is no  at the beginning of the 4th triplet. This version was repeated by FE1, while FE2 added all the necessary accidentals in bar 311 and 313. The versions of GE and EE are fully correct.
In the main text we omit the  to e2 in bar 315, unnecessarily repeated in the sources to the 9th quaver.
