b. 408

..

In FE, there is no  lowering f​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ to f. The patent inaccuracy of the Chopinesque notation was corrected in GE and EE.

FE, literal reading

FE, different interpretation

GE & EE
..

When interpreted literally, the ambiguous, in terms of rhythmic values and division into parts, notation of FE may have a few possible versions. It is the interpretation based on a possible reconstruction of the notation of [A], rhythmically consistent, that we adopt as both the text of FE and the main text.

4 wedges in A

4 dots in GE

3 dots in FE

3 dots in EE
..

In A, the staccato marks at the beginning of bars 410-411 and 418-419 (in the part of the R.H.) are clear wedges – cf. the dots in the part of the L.H. The editions reproduced them as dots (as in the entire Concerto); at the same time, EE overlooked the sign in bar 410, whereas FE – in bar 418 (added in EE).

Long accent in A

 in GE1

 in FE (→EE)

 in GE2
..

The Chopinesque long accent was interpreted in GE1 as a  hairpin, significantly increasing the range of the sign. In FE (→EE) the endings of the sign were related to the only notes in this bar, which extended it even more. The length of the sign in GE2, considered in relation to the quavers in the R.H., generally corresponds to the notation of A, yet the proportions with respect to the third in the L.H. differ – in GE2 the sign reaches beyond the half of the distance between them and can be associated with a diminuendo sign, much more than the sign in A.
