b. 262

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

FE is lacking in a  lowering d​​​​​​​4 to d4. The inaccuracy, most probably repeated after [A], was corrected in the remaining editions.

b. 263

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

FE is missing a  lowering g​​​​​​​1 to g1. The context of the preceding G major scale points to Chopin's oversight, one of a few in this and the next few bars. The accidental was added both in GE and EE. The fact that Chopin heard g1 in the last triplet is supported by bar 265, in which the same motif is used, written in all sources with a  before the respective note.

b. 265-267

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

In FE, there are no accidentals before the 7th semiquaver in bars 265 and 267 and before the 8th semiquaver in bar 266. Chopin's oversight of the naturals restoring a1 is obvious both in bars 265 and 267 (A minor chord in the L.H.) and in bar 266 (correctly written, identical bar 264). In all remaining editions, some or all missing naturals were added:

  • GE1 (→GE2) added accidentals in bars 265 and 267,
  • EE1 added a  in bar 266,
  • EE2 (→EE3) and GE3 contain the correct text.

b. 265

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

FE (→EE1) overlooked the ​​​​​​​ restoring e1. The accidental, most probably overlooked by Chopin, cf. bar 267, was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 267

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

..

FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) is missing the  lowering g1 to g1. Chopin's oversight is proven by the ​​​​​​​ in the respective place of identical bar 265. The accidental was added only just in GE3.
