b. 300

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

No accidental (d) in GE & FE1

 (d) in FE2 & EE
..

According to us, the version with d resulted from Chopin having overlooked the  in [A] (→GE,[FC]→FE1). Therefore, in the main text we include the  added in FE2 and EE.

b. 305-306

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

..

In A there is not any  raising e2(3,4) to e2(3,4). It is almost certainly Chopin's mistake – if he were to hear e in this place, he would have used a cautionary flat in this context. The composer also omitted the naturals raising d1(2) to d1(2), which clearly proves that the figures (whose sound, written after so many repetitions, he regarded as obvious) were written hastily and inaccurately. Anyway, the naturals (e2, d2 and e4) added in the proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) and uncontested by the composer both in FE and FED clearly prove his intention. In EE, naturals were added also next to d1 and d4, whereas in GE2 – next to e3.
