It is only GE2 that includes a natural before b2, the 4th quaver in bars 426 and 428; however, due to the use of an octave sign, we consider the sound of this note to be specified also in the remaining sources.

b. 428

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

..

Differently than in analogous bar 426, there is no cautionary  before b in A (→GE1→FE→EE), yet there is a  before e1, unnecessary in this context. In GE2, a  was added to the . In the main text we give a more logical notation, used by Chopin in bar 426 as well as in two analogous places (bars 466 and 468).
The sources include a superfluous  also before e3 in the R.H. Cf. bars 413-415.

b. 433

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

..

In A the notation of accidentals in this bar is inaccurate:

  • there is only one  before the 1st chord in the R.H.; moreover, it is written in such a way that one cannot be certain which note it concerns (we assume that it is d3),
  • in each of the triplets, a  is only before the 1st note,
  • no  before the bottom note of the third in the L.H. on the 3rd beat of the bar.

The necessary signs were added already in GE1 (→FE); however, the  before the bottom note of the octave in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar was overlooked. EE and GE2 feature the correct notation.
