b. 6-7

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

Slur to f2 in A (literal reading→GE1→FE)

Slur up to e2 in A, contextual interpretation

Slurs in both hands in EE & GE2
..

The slur of A, although unfinished in bar 7 on a new page, clearly leads to the crotchet at the beginning of the bar, which was not reproduced in the editions. The slur of the L.H., added in EE and GE2, is certainly inauthentic.

In the main text we omit the superfluous flats before the D-d octave.

b. 6

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

3 staccato dots in A & GE2

4 dots in GE1 (→FE→EE1→EE2)

6 dots in EE3
..

The dot over c3, present in GE1 (→FE→EE), could have been added by Chopin. According to us, however, an inaccuracy of the engraver is more likely; therefore, in the main text we adhere to the version of A. In GE2 the additional dot was omitted, whereas in EE3 two dots more were added to four dots of EE2, hence all quavers in this bar are provided with dots (probably by analogy with bar 330).

b. 6-18

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fingering in EE
..

The fingering in the entire EE is inauthentic, and it comes from the editor – on this page only for the R.H. in bars 6, 9 and 16-18.

b. 6-7

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

 to bar 7 in A

 in bar 6 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The change of the range of the  sign is certainly an inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE). In A one can see that Chopin deleted the hairpin written over the part of the R.H., having the same range as in the editions. The new sign was written under the group of demisemiquavers introducing the theme and led further on, to the e3 minim.
