b. 128-129

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary flats before e1.

category imprint: Editorial revisions

b. 128-130

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

Slur with tenuto ending in A

2 whole-bar slurs in GE1 (→FE)

Whole- & half-bar slur in EE

Slur in GE2
..

In the main text we give the slur of A, marking the range of the phrase, with a characteristic ending indicating a necessity of an accurate hold of the last long note (slur-tenuto). Two whole-bar slurs of GE (→FE, repeated inaccurately in EE) deprived the Chopin slurring of all nuances. GE2 generally restored the Chopin slur (without the extended "tenuto" ending).

b. 128-129

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

Slur up to bar 129 in A & GE2

Slur to end of bar 128 in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

Ending the slur before the last note of this passage in unison is certainly an inaccuracy. Both changes to which the slur of A was subject in GE1 are deformations typical of the engraver of this edition – dividing a long slur and adjusting it to metric structures.

b. 128

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In Atut, there is no  lowering f2 to f2, which was corrected already in FE (→GE,EE).

b. 128

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

 mid-bar in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

 at beginning of bar in GE3
..

According to us, a comparison with the dynamic markings in analogous bars 132, 136 and 140 points to an inaccurate placement of the ​​​​​​​ mark in the majority of the sources. The reason could have been the fact that [A] used a convention of placing indications within their scope of validity, and not at the beginning. Therefore, in the main text we include the shift of the mark adopted in GE3.
