b. 334

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

..

In A one can see a correction of the bottom note of the last crotchet in the L.H. Chopin initially wrote a b which he then reworked into a c1 and added names of both notes for the sake of clarity – c-g. According to us, it is probably a correction of an erroneously written version of the accompaniment (cf. bar 326) and not a change implying an improvement.

b. 334-339

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

sempre forte in FE (→GE,EE)

(sempre forte) suggested by the editors
..

According to us, a double appearance of an identical indication (sempre forte) four bars apart may be a mistake of the engraver, who, apart from the correct place, unnecessarily repeated the indication a line higher or lower. Due to this reason, in the main text, we give the indication in bars 334-335 in a variant form (in brackets), being less justified after the  in the previous bar.
In GE and EE, in both places, forte was replaced with a conventional  mark.

b. 334-335

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

e2 repeated in FE (→GE1→GE2)

e2 tied in EE & GE3

Tied e2 suggested by the editors
..

We consider the missing tie of e2 to be a mistake of FE (→GE1→GE2). The tie is in an analogous situation 2 bars earlier, while in the discussed place it is present in the sources of the orchestral part – clarinet I in FEorch (→GEorch) and MFrorch and MFrw.

b. 334-349

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In A Chopin wrote and crossed out 4 pairs of   dynamic hairpins. Each of the marks was more or less 2 bars long. If the crossing-out was related to the addition of the leggiero indication, it would be a trace proving the change of concept of this fragment from a casually virtuoso one to a more delicate one, which would not disturb the lyrical, intimate mood of the previous C minor section.
