..

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 (→Fe→EE). Moreover, a cautionary  was added before f1 at the beginning of bar 474. In the main text, we also add a cautionary  before g2 in bar 475.

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 (→FE→EE).

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 f3 in bar 479 were added in GE (→FE→EE). 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 (→FE→EE).

No arpeggio sign in A

Arpeggio sign in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The missing arpeggio mark in A before the 1st chord in the L.H. is a patent mistake, corrected already in GE (→FE→EE).
