Octave c3-c4 in A & FE (→EE)

Small-print octave c2-c3 in GE1

Octave c2-c3 in GE2

GE1 did not notice the difference in the size of notes between the octaves on the 1st quaver, ending the solo part, and the following them reduction of the orchestral Tutti, this time written correctly (cf. bars 1-22). The mistake was corrected both in FE (→EE) and in GE2. Moreover, loco, ending the octave sign from the previous two bars, was placed too early, so that the 1st octave is written an octave too low. The mistake was corrected only in FE (→EE), certainly as a result of Chopin's intervention.
