composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In A one can see a deletion before the 1st L.H. crotchet, yet it allows us to decipher the removed element, that is a C1-E tenth. Therefore, this is a self-correction of a frequent mistake in Chopin's autographs consisting in adding too many ledger lines (cf., e.g. the Polonaise in C minor, Op. 26 No. 1, bar 5 or the Nocturne in D, Op. 27 No. 2, bar 44).

b. 286

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In FE there are no accidentals to the minim L.H. chord. The mistake was corrected in EE by adding a necessary  raising e1 to e1 as well as a  to e (superfluous, in A it was deleted).

b. 288-289

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In bar 288, in the minim L.H. chord, Chopin repeated a  to e1, perhaps confused by the difference in levels between this note and the e1 note in the 1st chord in the bar. The superfluous accidental was omitted in FE (→EE). Similarly, in bar 289 all sources feature a  to a in the 1st quaver chord. In the same chord, however, the necessary  raising e to e is missing.
