In A there is no  lowering a to a. This patent inaccuracy was corrected already in GE (→FE→EE).

b. 439-440

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

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before g2. At the same time, we omit a similar, yet less justified sign, present in the sources before g1 in the next bar.

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

Short accent in A (probable reading) & GE2

Long accent in A (possible reading→GE1→FE→EE)
..

The accent in A may be interpreted as both short and long. According to us, the use of a short accent is more likely – the top, shorter arm, written first, seems to convey Chopin's intention better. However, the sign was interpreted in such a way only in GE2.
