b. 481-483

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

..

The crossings-out visible in A allow us to read the original version, in which the L.H. had the same chords as the R.H., continuing the relationship marked by the 1st chord of the entire passage. Chopin wrote four subsequent chords (to the second one in bar 482) before he changed the concept or noticed his mistake.

b. 481

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

..

We preserve the cautionary  before a2 in the 2nd chord of the bar, due to a in the previous bar. However, Chopin most probably wrote it to cancel a2, used in the original version of the notation of the 1st chord. In the main text we also add a cautionary  before c.

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

..

In the last chord in the L.H., A does not have signs returning g and b. This patent inaccuracy, probably caused by crossings-out and changes (the crossed out chord sounded e-a-c1-g1), was corrected already in GE (→FE→EE). EE added also a cautionary  before g3.

b. 482

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

..

The cautionary  before e3 written in A (→GE1) is probably a remaining element of the original notation, in which the previous chord included e3. In FE (→EE) and GE2 the unnecessary sign was removed. EE added cautionary naturals before g1 and g2.

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

..

We add a flat before b in the main text after the authentic cautionary  before b3.
