b. 239

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

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.

..

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.

b. 358-359

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

..

In FE, the passage was probably reproduced strictly after [A] – it is missing naturals before the 4th, 9th, 11th and 12th semiquavers in bar 358, whereas in bar 359 accidentals are present only before the first two semiquavers. In the remaining editions, naturals were added – GE added all of them, while EE the majority of them (without the 4th and 9th notes in bar 358).
