The missing  must be Chopin's oversight – in two previous bars, d notes are featured on several occasions as elements of chords and belong to the F​​​​​​​ minor key, consolidated in the discussed bar. Oversights of accidentals are very frequent in Chopin's oeuvre in such a context. The version with d3 is also supported by analogy with bar 379. Chopin added a  in FED; however, it was only just in GE3 that it was added in print.

b. 376-377

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

..

In FE (→GE1→GE2), the only cautionary accidental in these bars is a  before b, the last quaver in bar 377. In EE, GE3 and FEH, a  was added before d1, and we also add a  before c1 in the main text.

In FEH, the tied g1 quaver is slashed. It is most probably an additional signal reminding that the note should not be played.

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

..

In the main text, we omit the  before the 4th semiquaver (d2), unnecessarily repeated in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2). Moreover, we add cautionary sharps before the C-c​​​​​​​ octave (cf. bar 375). Both changes were introduced already in GE3.

..

In the R.H. part, FE has only two naturals in the first semiquaver triplet. This inaccuracy, typical of Chopin, was corrected in the remaining editions – GE1 (→GE2) added a ​​​​​​​ before the penultimate semiquaver of the bar, while EE and EE3 – also before the 7th semiquaver.
