The erroneous pitch of the 2nd semiquaver in GE is a consequence of the imprecise notation of the end of the octave sign embracing the first two semiquavers in this bar in A (and the last four of the previous one). In GE1 the notation was reproduced too literally (erroneously), not taking into account both the graphical context and analogous figures in the next bars. The mistake was not repeated in FE (→EE), although the notation of EE is not entirely clear. In turn, the misunderstanding of Chopin's intention in GE2 is puzzling, in which the erroneous pitch of the discussed note was repeated, although the notation does not include an octave sign.

 in A

No sign in GE (→FEEE)

..

The missing  in the editions certainly do not correspond with Chopin's intention. The engraver of GE1 may have considered that it would be impossible to reproduce the sign written on notes in A in print.

Accent in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The missing accent is certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE).

cresc. - - in A

cresc. in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

No indication in FE (→EE1)

..

We give the cresc. marking, together with the dashes marking its range, after A (see also bars 263-264). In GE the marking was put slightly further and the dashes were overlooked, whereas FE (→EE1) does not have it at all. The absence of the indication in FE could be explained by a mistake of that edition or by a repetition of the original error of GE1, which was corrected in GE1 only in the last phase of proofreading. The indication was added in EE2 (→EE3) on the basis of comparison with GE1.

b. 264

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

..

The top most note of the chord on the 4th quaver in GE1 (→FE1) is an erroneous b3. The mistake was corrected – most probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE2 (→EE). The correct version is also in GE2.
