b. 1

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

R.H. slur from minim in A

Slurs from minim in GE & FED

Different slurs in FE

Slurs from crotchet in EE

..

In the main text we include the slur for the L.H. added in a proofreading of GE – cf. an analogous slur in A in bars 91-92 – even though it is not entirely certain whether it was added by Chopin. The undoubtedly erroneously shortened slur in the R.H. in FE made the reviser of EE perform a similar change in the part of the L.H. The mistake of FE was corrected with an entry in FED, performed in pencil.

Characteristic synchronisation signs of the parts of both hands, in the form of lines combining the notes that are supposed to be played simultaneously, were added next to the groups of small notes in bars 7 and 9 in FED. Similarly in bars 26 and 75.

b. 7

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

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering above the trill, written in FED most probably by Chopin, is a simplified notation, generally indicating the fingers with which the trill is to be played. It absolutely does not mean that the enote is to be repeated after dat the beginning of the trill. One can see another sign in this copy, which may be a fingering digit: the dash under the first dgrace note may be considered a one. However, such an interpretation carries a risk of uncertainty, therefore, we do not include it in the main text.

No indication in #A (→GEFEEE)

() alternatively suggested by the editors

..

The  indication, added most probably by Chopin in FED, may be considered a more precise version of the notation or a change of the dynamic concept (see the previous note in this bar).
