b. 424

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

..

In the sources, there are no sharps before the d2 and d​​​​​​​3 semiquavers. It results from a different rule of validity of accidentals from the one applied generally in contemporary editions where a part of a bar is written with the use of an octave sign. In Chopin's times, a mark next to a note encompassed with an octave sign was often considered valid also for a note written at the same pitch, yet not encompassed with an octave sign.

b. 424

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

..

In FE (→EE), there is no accidental before the 2nd semiquaver. A sharp necessary to achieve c​​​​​​​1, undoubtedly intended by Chopin in this case, was added in GE.

In GE3, the  raising d1 to d​​​​​​​1 was overlooked (removed by mistake?).

Slur to quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Shorter slur in GE3
..

The shorter slur is a result of an arbitrary action of the reviser of GE3 who probably took into consideration the slur in the R.H.

Slur in bar 424 in sources

Slur to bar 425 suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the slur of FE (→GE,EE) is inaccurate, which is proved by the slur in analogous bars 428-429 (most probably proofread by Chopin) as well as by the slurs in the L.H. in both places. The absence of slurs in further part of bar 425 is probably intentional – in analogous bar 429, one can see traces of removal of the slur over the 2nd and 3rd groups of semiquavers in FE.
