A lacks in the Solo marking, which most probably resulted from haste – this otherwise obvious marking is present both in Morch and GE (→FE→EE). Due to a misunderstanding of the notation of GE1, the marking was placed in FE (→EE) over bar 493.

No pedalling in GE1 (→FE→EE)

 & [] suggested by the editors
..

No pedalling markings in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an oversight – in A the  mark is written carelessly and just above the clef opening the line of the cello part in Morch, so it could have been unrecognised. According to us, Chopin wanted to hold pedal at least until the end of bar 501 – cf. an analogous situation in bars 353-356. In the main text we suggest it with a mark in bar 502.

b. 494-501

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

8 long accents in A

7 short & 1 long accents in GE1

7 short accents in FE

8 short accents in EE & GE2
..

Out of eight long accents written in A, GE1 reproduced in this form only the mark in bar 497, which is naturally an accidental inaccuracy. The mark in this bar is slightly longer also in FE (→EE); however, the difference is so small that it is difficult to consider it meaningful. In GE2 all accents were unified.
FE omitted the last mark, in bar 501, most probably due to an oversight. The accent was added in EE.

Dashes in A & GE2

No dashes in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

GE1 (→FE→Ee) overlooked the dashes marking the range of the dynamic change. Similarly in bars 507-509 (and in many other places).

b. 504-508

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

..

In A Chopin wrote naturals before the last note in the bar in four places – e and e1 in bar 504, E in bar 505 and e3 in bar 508. Not only did GE1 repeated these signs, but it also added corresponding naturals in the R.H. in bars 505 and in the L.H. in bar 508. The unnecessary signs were removed in FE (→EE) and partially also in GE2 (only in bar 508).
