b. 474-475

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

..

In A, Chopin marked correctly only the first out of three notes requiring an accidental in both passages – b in bar 474 and c3 in bar 475. All necessary signs were added already in GE (→FeEE). Moreover, a cautionary  was added before fat the beginning of bar 474. In the main text, we also add a cautionary  before g2 in bar 475.

b. 476

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

g2 in A (→GE)

d2 in FE (→EE)

..

Chopin hesitated about the pitch of the last quaver. It is already the crossings-out in A that prove that the decision was changed twice – Chopin started with g2, changed it to d2, to return to g2. GE features a g2, however, in the proofreading of FE (→EE), Chopin changed it again to d2. It is the latest version that we give in the main text; yet both versions may be considered to be equal. It is interesting that there are no traces of similar hesitations to be found in an analogous situation, as far as the sound is concerned, 4 bars earlier.

b. 476-477

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

..

In A, Chopin wrote only two naturals in this place – before the 2nd quaver in bar 476 and before the bottom note of the 1st quaver in bar 477. The missing signs before the 1st octave in the L.H. in bar 476 are the only case in the entire fragment in which the first occurrence of a note in a bar was not marked correctly. It probably indicates that the part of the L.H. was written after the passages in the R.H., hence the first b Chopin encountered while writing was the 2nd quaver, written on the bottom stave. Considering that the  is valid also for the topmost note in the L.H., all necessary naturals were added already in GE (→FEEE).

b. 478-479

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

..

Just like in the previous passages, Chopin wrote the necessary accidentals in A only in the first triplet in each bar. All necessary signs, including the cautionary  before fin bar 479 were added in GE (→FEEE). Moreover, GE2 added two more cautionary naturals before f2 and f. In the main text, we omit the latter.

The overlooked accidentals in A before the top notes of the second octaves in the L.H. were added already in GE (→FEEE).
