In the main text we add cautionary flats before b2 in bar 20, d1 in bar 21 and e1(2) in bar 22. In turn, we remove the  before d2 in bar 22, written by Chopin yet unnecessary in this place.

b. 39

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

..

In the main text we omit the poorly justified cautionary flats before d1 and d2. Chopin could have feared that the naturals raising e1(2) to e1(2) could also suggest the use of d1(2). Cautionary flats before d, following e, are present also in bar 43, 383 and 387. In the first of them, the unnecessary sign was removed in the proofreading of FE, perhaps by Chopin himself.

A (→GE) has a cautionary  before d3. The sign was removed – perhaps by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE (→EE1) and restored in EE2 (→EE3). Cf. similar contexts in bar 39 and 383 as well as 387.

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

..

In A there are no cautionary flats before the 2nd chord in the L.H. The signs were probably added by the reviser of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), although it cannot be excluded that they were inspired by Chopin.
