In A (→GE→FE) there are no naturals raising d2(3) to d2(3). Chopin's patent oversight was partially corrected in EE, by adding a  before the chord in the middle of the bar. The second necessary sign was added only in EE3. The absence of signs in GE2 draws attention, particularly considering the fact that a cautionary  before f3 was added there.

..

In A there is neither a  raising d2 to d2 in the marked place nor a  restoring d2 five semiquavers later. Corresponding signs are in the parts of oboes and clarinets in Morch, which confirms an imposing suspicion of Chopin's mistake. The signs were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), in which one could see the composer's proofreading. In the main text we also add a cautionary  before b1; it is also in GE2.

b. 241-242

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

..

In bar 241 in A there is not any  raising d to d (in various octaves); there is also no  before the 1st quaver of the 2nd half of bar 242. These patent defects were gradually corrected in the editions: in GE1 (→FE) naturals were added before d and d2 in the 1st half of bar 241 and a sign in bar 242, while EE and GE2 added all remaining necessary naturals (in EE a  before d1 on the 6th quaver in bar 241 was repeated). See also bar 242, 243 and 244.
