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

..

In FE, there are no accidentals in the L.H. part, which, considering d3 in the R.H., is a patent mistake. The missing naturals were added both in GE and EE. A natural before the 1st quaver was added also in FEH.

b. 504-508

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

..

In A Chopin wrote naturals before the last note in the bar in four places – e and e1 in bar 504, E in bar 505 and e3 in bar 508. Not only did GE1 repeated these signs, but it also added corresponding naturals in the R.H. in bars 505 and in the L.H. in bar 508. The unnecessary signs were removed in FE (→EE) and partially also in GE2 (only in bar 508).

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Disregarding the first chord, in EE there is no  lowering all d to d in different octaves. This was the exact copyist's notation of GC, however Chopin added five out of thirteen nevessary accidentals. The notation of FE and GE is completely correct.

In EE, omission of the cautionary  before f​​​​​​​2 may have been intentional – even necessary accidentals hardly fit into the densely packed notes.
