b. 352

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

Accent above staff in A 

Accent under staff in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Chopin's intention concerning the placement of the accent is uncertain. The change of its position in GE (→FE→EE) is almost certainly of a random nature, since in the version of A (→GE), in which there is a sole a2 at the beginning of the bar, it does not influence the meaning of this sign. After adding the d2 note in FE (→EE), the position of the accent may suggest accenting the bottom or top note of the d2-a2 fifth. In the main text we give an accent in the place where Chopin saw it while proofreading FE.

b. 352

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

Slur from 2nd beat in A

2 slurs in GE

2 slurs in FE (→EE)

Slur from first beat suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we give an extended slur – probably by Chopin together with adding the d2 note at the beginning of the bar – in the proofreading of FE (→EE). In turn, we omit the triplet slur added in GE (→FE→EE) – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 16.

..

In FE, there is no  lowering g to g. This patent inaccuracy, quite frequent in Chopin's works, was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 352

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Semiquavers d2-b​​​​​​​1 in FE

Semiquavers f2-d2 in GE & EE
..

In the 2nd half of the bar in FE, the semiquaver beam combines the 2nd and 3rd notes instead of the 1st and 2nd ones. The in this context patent mistake was corrected already in GE and EE.
