b. 570

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

Wedge in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE
..

The missing wedge over the topmost note is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE, although one cannot exclude a later addition of the mark in the last phase of proofreading of FE.

b. 570

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

..

GE1 (→GE2) overlooked the demisemiquaver beam in the beam of the 1st group of notes. The mistake was corrected in GE3.

b. 570

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

..

In FE, one can see traces of removal of the third . Chopin most probably reduced the dynamics from  to . Shift of ​​​​​​​ to the beginning of the bar, giving the same image, seems to be much less likely, since the difference in position of the mark before and after proofreading would have been too insignificant to be worth attention.

b. 570-572

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Arpeggio signs in GE2 (→GE3)
..

Chopin could have decided to stop providing chords with arpeggios with the gradual fading of music (diminuendo started already in b. 567). Therefore, in the main text we leave the notation of A and of the majority of the sources without changes. However, taking into account the fact that the missing signs could have been a result of inaccuracy, we accept the use of the variant version of GE2 (→GE3). See also b. 568-572.

b. 572-573

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No tie in EE

Tied g in GC (→GE) & FE
..

In EE g is not tied, which most probably results from omission. In GC there is no appropriatew tie in b. 572 (at the end of ther system), which was corrected in GE.
