Rhythm

b. 235

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

Single-voice notation in A

Quaver g2 in upper voice in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Separating the g2 quaver may be a specification of notation introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2).

b. 241-242

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

g tied in A, FE (→EE) & GE2

g repeated in GE1
..

The missing tie of g is certainly a mistake of GE1, corrected both in FE – perhaps by Chopin – and GE2.
In GE1 the b-c1 slur is also written inaccurately – there is no ending thereof in bar 242, opening a new line.

b. 243

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

..

In FE the last chord has a quaver stem. The absence of rest, required if the chord was shortened, proves that it is a mistake, probably stemming from a misunderstanding at the time of implementing extensive proofreading of pitch and rhythmic values in bars 243-244.

b. 245-246

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

g repeated in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

g tied in GE2
..

The tie of g was not marked by Chopin in any authentic source. If we take into account a similar phrase 4 bars further, one can assume Chopin's oversight. However, since bars 245 and 249 differ in the context in which the g is played, in the main text we leave the version of A.

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

Tie to g in A & GE2

Slur in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The tie of g was misinterpreted in GE1 (→FE→EE) as combining the e1-g1 third in bar 246 with g in the following bar. GE2 restored the correct text.
