The natural raising a to a is written in A with pencil. The sign clearly differs from both typical Chopinesque naturals and the signs added in bar 314 (as well as from the  written with pencil in the part of the clarinet I in Morch in this place). Moreover, a denser text in GE1 suggests that in this edition a corresponding sign was added only in the proofreading. Therefore, it may be one of the later, foreign additions – cf. bar 256.

b. 311

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

..

FE1 lacks both the  raising e1 to e1 at the beginning of the bar, and the  restoring e1 two quavers later. In EE1 only a  before the 1st quaver was added, while in FE2 was also added only a , but before the 3rd quaver! Therefore, it was either misplaced or supposed to be a . The text of GE and EE2 (→EE3) is correct.

b. 313-314

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

..

In A there is no  raising d1 to d1 on the 4th quaver in bar 313, whereas the signs in bar 314 were added with pencil. In spite of the obvious accuracy of these additions, their authenticity is not certain, since other additions made with pencil in A were added rather by a foreign hand – cf. bar 256 and 310. All sources include a  raising d1 to d1 in the last quaver in bar 313. We omit this sign in the main text, since after the oversight on the 4th quaver had been corrected, it became superfluous.
