b. 186

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

..

In FE (→EE), the only accidental before the 1st chord of the 2nd half of the bar is a  before a, unnecessary in this context. In GE1 (→GE2), the accidental was moved to before f; however, a  lowering c​​​​​​​1 to c1 was not added. The latter was introduced only just in GE3.

b. 187

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

Single note in FE (→GE,EE1→EE2)

Chord in EE3
..

The version of FE (→EE1) is doubly incomplete:

  • the missing  before the 1st quaver of the bar is a patent inaccuracy. The defect was corrected in all remaining editions;
  • there is no visible reason to reject repetition of the entire F major chord – the chord corresponds to the orchestral part composed from the parts of FEorch (→GEorch) and to the one written in MFrorch, while the motif of five repeated chords is reproduced accurately in all 9 analogous places. The chord was introduced only in EE3.

..

FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) includes cautionary sharps before g1 and g​​​​​​​2. In this place, the accidentals are not necessary, since the divergence from the transitionally valid key, F major, was carefully marked by Chopin already two bars earlier with cautionary sharps before g1(2) and naturals before b1(2).

In FE, the grace notes in the R.H. are written a third higher than it would result from the L.H. part and all similar places (bars 173, 181, 189 and analog). The mistake was corrected both in GE and EE.
