b. 195

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

Slur to bar 196 in A & GE2

No slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

In the main text we give the slur of A, embracing the entire phrase marked con anima in bars 195-196. GE1 (→FEEE) reproduced only the part embracing bar 196, perhaps due to the erroneous reproduction of the tie of aas a slur.

b. 196

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

Continued slur in A & GE2

New slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The slur of GE1 (→FEEE), contrary to the unquestionable notation of A, probably stems from a misunderstanding of the notation of A in the previous bar.

Slur in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The slurs of GE1 (→FEEE) are a characteristic example of a schematic approach to slurs – two whole-bar slurs were printed instead of the precisely written Chopin phrase mark.

Staccato dots in A & GE2

No marks in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The missing staccato dots at the beginning of bar 197 (in both hands) and 199 can be almost certainly attributed to the inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE). The signs were added in GE2 after A.

b. 200-201

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

Staccato dots in A

No marks in GE (→FEEE)

..

The staccato dots at the beginning of the bars, in A written between the notes, were ignored both by the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE) and the reviser of GE2. The signs are very small, since Chopin apparently did not want them to be confused with note heads.
