b. 347

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

..

In A, the flat restoring e is written with pencil; therefore, its authenticity is uncertain (see the characterization of A). There is no corresponding sign before the bottom note of this octave in A. The flats are present in all parts of Morch performing this line and in analogous bar 23. The editions feature the correct text.

b. 349

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

..

In the main text we omit the cautionary  before d2, present in all sources, yet unjustified in this context.

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

..

b2 in A, FE2 (→EE) & GE2

g2 in GE1 (→FE1)
..

The version of GE1 (→FE1) is almost certainly a Terzverschreibung error, which was confirmed by the Chopinesque proofreading of FE2 (→EE) restoring the version of A.

b. 363-364

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

..

Four necessary flats lowering g to g (in different octaves) are missing in A: Chopin wrote signs only at the beginning of the bars, in the L.H. in bar 363 and in the R.H. in bar 364. In GE1 (→FE1→EE1→EE2) a  was added before the bass G in bar 365, but it is only GE2 and EE3 that include the fully correct notation.
