b. 653

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

..

FE overlooked the  lowering e2 to e​​​​​​​2. The accidental was added in the remaining editions. All editions except GE3 include an unnecessarily repeated  (cautionary?) before the last semiquaver.

b. 654-657

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No markings in A (→FE→EE)

cresc. in GE1

..

In the main text we give the cresc. indication added by Chopin in FC along with the dashes marking its range within b. 654-663. Just like in b. 203-212, the dashes were overlooked in GE1 and added in GE2 (→GE3) while modifying the initial section of crescendo after analogous b. 71-72: cresc. was moved to b. 655, and a  was added in b. 654.

b. 655

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

..

In FE, there is no  raising g2 to g2, which was completed in GE and EE. FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) has an unnecessary  before g​​​​​​​ before the last crotchet in the L.H.

b. 655

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

..

At the beginning of the bar, we add a cautionary ​​​​​​​ in the main text also before e in the chord in the L.H.

d1 & d1 in A (→FC→GE) & EE2 (→EE3)

f1 & e1 in FE, interpretation

d1 & e1 in EE1, interpretation
..

The versions of FE and EE1 must be erroneous (in addition, FE do not contain a  before the 3rd crotchet), since a simple scheme, on which this harmonic accompaniment is based, would be distorted, without a sonic explanation. EE2 (→EE3) introduced the correct text probably on the basis of a comparison with the previous two appearances of this phrase or with GE.
