In A the flats were added in this bar in a visible haste, probably to complement the notation after the notes had been written. The signs before C and c are written a third too high, whereas instead of the necessary flats before g and c2 Chopin wrote signs before e and e1. The inaccuracy was not noticed in GE1 (→FE). The necessary signs were added only in EE and GE2, whereas the superfluous flats before e and e1 were removed only in EE.

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

..

There is a cautionary  before d1 in the sources, written by Chopin probably in order to avoid a d1 due to b2 in the R.H. and a very frequent use of diminished triads and four-note chords. We omit this sign in the main text, since the d-f-b chord used in this place was highlighted two bars earlier.

..

The sources include a cautionary  before d1 at the beginning of the bar. In FE (→EE) and GE2 a respective sign was added also next to d in the L.H. We do not include these signs in the main text, since it is d that has been exclusively present for more than 20 bars and not d. Cf. bar 298.

..

The cautionary flat before d3 was added in GE (→FE→EE). It may be a revision; however, it is worth observing that four bars later, a corresponding sign in an analogous figure is written already in A.
