b. 156-158

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

..

The cautionary naturals before the E-e octave in the middle of bar 156 are to be found only in FE (→EE), which points to a possible proofreading performed by Chopin in the last stage of preparation of FE. In the main text, we add analogous naturals also in bar 158; they were added also in EE.

b. 177

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

..

There are no accidentals before the 3rd quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), so that the notes should be interpreted as d1-f​​​​​​​1. The obvious mistake is indicated by the orchestral part, which features d1 (in violins II) both in the parts of FEorch (→GEorch) and MFrorch. A comparison with the reappearance of that theme, a second higher, also clearly supports d1, since the respective place (bar 421) features e1 and not e1. It is the first of a few serious mistakes of FE concerning the notation of the orchestral inserts of that theme – cf. bar 179, 186, 187.
The natural lowering d1 to d1 was added in GE3.

b. 179

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

..

In FE (→EE), there are no accidentals before the first chord. Therefore, the middle note should be interpreted as d​​​​​​​1. The patent mistake in this context – d1 is present throughout the entire previous bar, while d2(3) is featured in the 2nd half of the discussed bar – was corrected in GE.

b. 181

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

..

In FE, there is no  lowering d​​​​​​​2 to d2. The patent defect was corrected in the remaining editions.
