In A the  raising e2 to eis absent. It is difficult to explain this oversight other than by haste. The mistake was corrected already in GE1 (→FEEE,→GE2). In analogous bar 325 a correct sign is present in all sources.

A has an aas the lowest note in the 3rd chord. Chopin's mistake is proved by gin the clarinet part in Morch as well as by a comparison with analogous bar 392. The mistake was corrected, perhaps by Chopin, already in GE1 (→FEEE, →GE2).

A has an additional note, E, in the last crotchet in the L.H. It is almost certainly a mistake of the person writing certain fragments of Tutti in bold (see the characterization of A). Interestingly, the note is absent in the editions, although there are no traces of it having been deleted in GE1. It could mean that at the time when A served as base text for GE1, the fragments in bold type and the mistake were absent (it is not a conclusive argument, since the engraver could have simply confused the bars, printing the octave from bar 53).

..

The chord in the R.H. on the 2nd beat of the bar was crossed out in A and rewritten to the left of the original position. It is possible to read the initial notation – it was a chord written in two parts with a c2-f2-acrotchet in the bottom voice and an eminim in the top one. One can see that Chopin wrote one line too many and in the proofread version he also resigned from the fnote.

b. 57

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

..

The notation of the last chord in the R.H. in A is surprising – over three g1-e2-gnotes there is also a fourth one, more or less at the pitch of c3 or d3, but devoid of ledger lines, so it is unknown what note it should represent. At the same time, it is not one of the blots copied from the adjacent page, of which there are several in the next bars. According to us, it is a mistakenly boldened random ink spill or a staccato dot. The latter seems to be supported by the presence of such a dot in GE1; however, the dot in GE1 may be explained by another kind of mistake – see the adjacent note
