b. 343

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

..

FE are devoid of staccato dots under the quavers, which must be regarded as a mistake in this context. The marks were added in GE and EE.

b. 343

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Dashes to beginning of bar in FE (→EE)

Dashes to end of bar in GE
..

In GE, the dashes marking the range of crescendo are led to the end of bar. It is an arbitrary revision.

b. 343

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

B-b quaver in small script in A & FE

B-b quaver in regular script in AsI & GE (→EE,FESB)

B-b quaver in small script & [m.s.] suggested by the editors
..

The version of GE (→EE,FESB) resulted from a mistake by the engraver of GE1, who did not notice that the B-b octave at the beginning of the bar is written in a smaller font, as belonging to the orchestral part. Chopin restored the correct notation in FE. In order to avoid a similar misunderstanding, in the main text we specify that the soloist is to perform the b2 quaver with the left hand to end the quaver sequence from the previous bar. (Hand crossing is not to be applied when performing the piece without accompaniment.)
The same in bar 359.
