b. 102-103

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

..

In GE, the 2nd and 3rd triplets in bar 102 and the 1st and 2nd triplets in bar 103 were provided with an octave sign, so they are written an octave too high. The mistake stemmed from a change performed in the notation of this fragment – Chopin wrote it using an octave sign, whereas in GE1, planning on omitting 8 - - -, the notes were printed at the actual pitch, yet the octave sign was left by mistake. The error was corrected, probably by Chopin, in FE (→EE1), but it was unnoticed by the reviser of GE2. The erroneous octave sign was introduced also in EE2; EE3 restored the correct text.

b. 102

Slur from 3rd beat in A (→GE)

Slur from 2nd beat in FE (→EE)

An earlier beginning of the slur in FE (→EE) is certainly a mistake, similarly as in the case of the slur of GE1 (→FE→EE) in bars 98-99.

There is no  before the 2nd crotchet in FE. This patent oversight was corrected in EE.

End of slur in Atut (literal reading→FE→GE,EE)

End of slur in Atut, contextual interpretation
..

The range of the slur in Atut is unclear – in bar 103, in a new line of text, there is no ending of the slur that suggests a continuation in the previous bar. According to us, the explanation is to be looked for at the repetition of this phrase in bars 113-115, written in one line of text – in that place, the slur is clearly led to the beginning of bar 115.
