b. 456-464

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

..

In A there are no flats restoring b1 in the last chord in the L.H. in bars 456 and 464. These patent mistakes were corrected already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), perhaps by Chopin.

b. 457-465

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary naturals before a1 in bars 457 and 465. The signs were added already in EE.

b. 462-463

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

e3 in A (literal reading→GE→FE1)

e3 in A (contextual interpretation) & FE2

e3 & e3 in EE
..

Just like in bars 422-423, the flats lowering e3 to e3 and the cautionary  before e2 in the L.H. in bar 463 prove that the version of A (→GE→FE1), interpreted literally, is erroneous. In EE, a respective  is only in bar 463 (together with a  before e2), which is probably a result of an oversight of the sign in bar 462.

b. 466

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

..

The natural before b2, the 4th quaver, is present only in EE and GE2; however, due to the use of an octave sign, we consider the sound of this note to be specified also in the remaining sources. Similarly in bar 468.

b. 466

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

No slur in A

Slur to end of bar in GE (→FE→EE)

Slur to next bar suggested by the editors
..

The unfinished slur of A does not allow us to state what its final rage should look like, particularly since the next bar is written on an adjacent stave (because of the crossings-out). In particular, it is uncertain whether the literal interpretation of the slur in bar 467 as separated from the previous one (and from the next one) adopted in GE (→FE→EE) is correct. In this situation, we consider the version of the editions to be one of the possibilities; we have chosen the continuous slur written by Chopin in analogous bars 426-427 to the main text.
