Issues : Inaccuracies in A

b. 471-472

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

In A the only accidentals in each of these bars are two flats before the 1st quaver in the R.H. All 9 remaining necessary flats were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, GE2). All next passages until bar 479 are written in a similarly simplified manner – cf. bars 473, 474-475, 476-477, 478-479. We regard all added accidentals in bars 471-479 as a revision, although it cannot be excluded that Chopin participated, even partially, in proofreading works on GE1.

b. 473

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

In A, Chopin provided with sharps only the 1st octave in the L.H. and the first two quavers in the R.H. Six out of seven remaining necessary sharps – except f in the L.H. – were added already in GE1 (→FE), whereas the last one in EE and GE2 (EE added also, like in our main text, a cautionary  before the last quaver).

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

In A (→GE1→FE) there are no sharps next to the top notes of the octaves on the 2nd beat of each of these bars. The patent inaccuracy was rectified in EE and GE2.

b. 474-475

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

In A, Chopin marked correctly only the first out of three notes requiring an accidental in both passages – b in bar 474 and c3 in bar 475. All necessary signs were added already in GE (→Fe→EE). Moreover, a cautionary  was added before f1 at the beginning of bar 474. In the main text, we also add a cautionary  before g2 in bar 475.
