b. 231-232

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

..

In A there are no naturals raising e2 to e2 in the middle of bar 231 and e1 to e1 two semiquavers later as well as e to e at the end of bar 232. All signs were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2).

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

d in A (→GE), EE & FES

f in FE
..

The logic of the figuration's structure and a comparison with analogous bar 235 point to a Terzverschreibung error of FE. The conclusion finds confirmation in a correction of this note performed in pencil – perhaps with Chopin's hand – in FES.

b. 237

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

..

The cautionary natural before G, the 1st semiquaver in the L.H., was added in the proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2). According to us, this random addition could have been performed at Chopin's request.
