In A the part of the L.H. is written in an abbreviated manner as a sequence of minims provided with signs of a quaver tremolo. In GE1 the notation was repeated only in bars 61-62. In the remaining editions all abbreviations were explained, as in the main text.

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).

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

..

In A (→GE) a  is missing before the 8th semiquaver in the L.H. (d1). In turn, Chopin repeated a  before b1 in the L.H. at the end of the bar. FE removed the second sign, yet did not add the first one. EE includes the fully correct notation.
