In the main text we unify the range of the  hairpins in bars 131-132 and 135-136 on the basis of the notation of A in bar 3 and 7-8. The signs in FE begin earlier and in the remaining editions they were extended even more: in GE1op and GE1no2 on the right-hand side, in the remaining – on the left-hand side.

b. 131

composition: Op. 64 No 2, Waltz in C♯ minor

..

FE (→EE) overlooked the  sign in this bar and GE1op also the preceding it  sign. These are certainly mistakes – cf. corresponding bar 3.

b. 131-132

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

Slur continued in A

New slur in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Same as in the previous bars, dividing the slur of A into two parts was an arbitrary decision of GE (→FE→EE).

b. 131-132

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

poco ri - te - nu - to in A

poco riten. in GE (→FE→EE)
..

We reproduce the poco ritenuto indication after A, in which Chopin suggested the range of the retardation (probably to the e2 minim). The editions used the standard notation.

b. 131

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

No indication in sources

[Viol.] suggested by the editors
..

No indication of the change of the leading instrumental group is almost certainly Chopin's oversight, caused by the transition to a new page in A. Four bars further, the composer marked an analogous change.
