b. 29

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

..

In A there are no cautionary flats before B and d. The signs were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), probably together with a  in the previous bar. Chopin's participation in this proofreading cannot be excluded, yet leaving an uncorrected mistake in the last two chords in the bar seems to indicate rather actions of the reviser, checking the correctness of the chromatic notation.

FE overlooked  raising e2 to e2. The error was corrected in EE and FED.

The natural before the initial third was misplaced in FE: before c1 instead of a. The mistake went to EE1, where the "superfluous" sign was omitted. Chopin added the necessary sign in FED; EE2 (→EE3) also includes the correct text.

Grace note in A & GE2

No ornament in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Grace note & crotchet suggested by the editors
..

The missing grace note is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). We suggest completing the bass line also in the middle of the bar, although the missing bass note of the chord there is significantly less noticeable (in the solo part, Chopin wrote octaves in analogous bars 134 and 282).
