b. 314

In A there is no  lowering g1 to g1. The patent oversight was corrected in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2).

b. 316

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

..

In GE1 (→FE→EE) there is no cautionary  before G at the beginning of the bar, added in A later with a foreign hand. In the main text we include this sign, facilitating the interpretation.

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

..

Same as in analogous bars 169-170, in A (→GE) there are no flats restoring a at the beginning of the 2nd half of each bar. The mistake was corrected in FE (→EE), probably at Chopin's request.

b. 321

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

..

In A (→GE) there are no accidentals in the last group of semiquavers. In the proofreading of FE (→EE) two flats were added, probably indicated by Chopin, a cautionary before A and a necessary one before G.

b. 322-324

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

..

Three flats before g notes visible in A, written later with a foreign hand, were not included in GE1. The same applies to the cautionary  before G at the beginning of bar 324. The natural harmonic context allows to guess the correct text even without these signs; however, all doubts are dissipated by the Chopin proofreading of FE (→EE), in which all necessary flats in bar 322 were added as well as a cautionary  before A at the end of bar 323 and E at the end of bar 324. GE2 included the signs added in A, adding also a fourth one, a necessary  in bar 322 (before the penultimate semiquaver).
