The version of GE1 (→GE2), distorting the sequence of bass (implemented by cellos and double basses), must be erroneous. However, the traces of proofreading visible in FE prove that it was the engraver of this edition that committed a mistake, yet in GE1 the note was revised by adding an admittedly overlooked ​​​​​​​, while in FE (→EE) it was moved to the right pitch. The correct version was introduced also in GE3.

In FE, there is no  raising c2 to c2. Visible traces of corrections in print reveal that it was a​​​​​​​that was the original version; it was moved to the correct pitch in the proofreading, yet without . This patent oversight (of the engraver or of Chopin at the time of marking the correction) was revised both in GE and EE.

b. 443

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

In the copyist's notation of this chord in GC there is no ledger line for a(compare identical errors in bars 91 and 100). The line penciled in here was most probably added by the egraver or editor.

In GE1 (→GE2), the last triplet begins with b2. The structure of the figuration, confirmed by the version of analogous bar 484, points to a Terzverschreibung error. The mistake was rectified in GE3.

b. 487

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

..

FE features an Aas the minim on the 2nd beat of the bar. If we take into consideration the piano part and this bar only, the note would be absolutely natural, yet in a broader context, it is obviously erroneous, since the stability of the bass note is out of the question in this place – cf. C-c in the double basses and cellos in Morch. The mistake was corrected in EE, most probably following the logic of the harmonic progression. Chopin did not notice this mistake both in the proofreading of FE (in spite of adding an accent!) and during lessons, which may mean that the pupil did not notice it either.
