The shortened  hairpin in bars 83 and 85 is certainly an inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE). The figure – or its variant – appears four times (bars 83, 85, 91 and 93) and each time the sign embraces in A four quavers. In the editions, only in bar 91 the sign was reproduced correctly. In EE, due to a very dense placement of notes, the hairpin in bar 83 took the form of an accent.

..

In A one can see a correction of the group of semiquavers. The six-note version of this motif was removed, such as used by Chopin in bar 92.

The version of the editions is undoubtedly erroneous, which is proved by the Chopin correction in FED, restoring the text of A.

b. 85

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

..

A typical Chopin oversight – a missing  restoring e2 – was not corrected in any of the editions. It is particularly bizarre in FE where the  before e2 was removed, unnecessarily repeated on the 4th semiquaver in A (→GE).
