b. 211

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

..

In the editions (except GE2), the solo piano phrase in bars 209-210 is written with an octave sign. In GE1 (→FE→EE1) the dashes marking its range are erroneously led until the f2 minim in bar 211; there is also no loco indication following them. As a result, when interpreted literally, the minim is an f3, although in this context it is easy to see a mistake. In spite of this, in GE2, in which the entire phrase was written without an octave sign (as in our main text), the minim in bar 211 was also moved an octave higher, at the same time confirming its erroneous pitch. In EE2 (→EE3) the range of the octave sign was marked correctly.

b. 216

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

..

The last three semiquavers in A (→GE1→FE) are devoid of accidentals. This inaccurate notation, characteristic for Chopin particularly in his early pieces, was corrected in EE and GE2.
Moreover, in FE there is no  before c2, which was added in EE. In A there is no  before c1 in the part of the L.H. The sign was added in GE (→FE→EE), although it is not necessary in this layout (similarly as the two previous signs in the part of the L.H.).
