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.

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

..

The sources feature a rather unnecessary  before e2 in the 2nd half of the bar. In the main text we add a  before e3 – it is not absolutely necessary in the sources due to the use of an octave sign at the beginning of the bar and a different layout.

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

..

In the main text we omit the  present in A (→GE1→FE→EE) before the 1st note in the 2nd half of the bar. The unnecessarily repeated sign was removed in GE2.
