Issues : Omission of current key accidentals

b. 433

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

..

In A the notation of accidentals in this bar is inaccurate:

  • there is only one  before the 1st chord in the R.H.; moreover, it is written in such a way that one cannot be certain which note it concerns (we assume that it is d3),
  • in each of the triplets, a  is only before the 1st note,
  • no  before the bottom note of the third in the L.H. on the 3rd beat of the bar.

The necessary signs were added already in GE1 (→FE); however, the  before the bottom note of the octave in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar was overlooked. EE and GE2 feature the correct notation.

b. 437

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

..

In FE, there is no  raising d2 to d​​​​​​​2 before the 1st semiquaver. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE.

..

In A there is no  returning c4. The harmonic context and a comparison with an identical figure four bars earlier prove Chopin's mistake. The sign was added already in GE (→FE→EE).

..

In FE, there is no  raising c2 to c2. Visible traces of corrections in print reveal that it was a​​​​​​​1 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.
