b. 333-334

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

Wedges in A (→GE→EE,IE)

Staccato dots in FE
..

Replacing the wedges with staccato dots was an arbitrary decision by the engraver of FE.

b. 334

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Rhythm in EE

Rhythm in GC (→GE1)

Rhythm in FE & GE2
..

Out of the three rhythmic variants in the RH part in this bar only two are definitely authentic :  in GC (>GE1) and   in FE. The rhythm in GC comes as the earlier version and while correcting FE Chopin replaced it with the rhythm consistent with bars 322, 326 and also 342. The EE variant may well be the earliest one of the bar, however we cannot rule out an error here. The editor of GE2 when introducing the FE version most probably unconsciously repeated Chopin's correction made earlier to FE.

b. 334

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

Long accent in A

Short accent in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The accent in A is clearly longer than the signs in, e.g. the previous two bars, yet in the editions it was reproduced as a short accent.

b. 334

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

Dot in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The absence of the staccato dot in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an oversight, corrected in GE2 on the basis of A.
