In FE (→GE), the engraver placed two separate  hairpin marks – the former in bar 448 and the latter in bar 449. It must be an inaccuracy of the engraver (cf. the marks in bars 450-451 and 452-453), most probably caused by the fact that in FE bar 449 a new line (missing endings of such elements of notation as slurs, dynamic hairpins, particularly when transitioning to a new line or page, are a frequent mistake of the editions). In EE, the reviser justly placed one mark. We suggest beginning the hairpin right after the  mark.

b. 449

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

Wedge in A

Dot in GE1

No mark in FE (→EE) & GE2
..

The apparent wedge of A was inaccurately reproduced in GE1 as a dot. Moreover, it was placed so close to the octave sign that it was then overlooked both in FE (→EE) and GE2.

Same as in the entire Concerto, the wedge of A at the beginning of bar 450 was reproduced in the editions as a dot. In turn, the absence of the staccato mark at the beginning of bar 451 must be considered an inaccuracy of A (→GE1→FE→EE). A sign – a dot – was added in GE2, most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bars. Therefore, due to the same reason, we add a wedge in the main text.

b. 451-453

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

Slur in A

2 slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)

2 slurs in GE2
..

GE1 (→FE) include two whole-bar slurs in bars 451-452, which is a typical distortion of the slurring of A. However, since an ending of the slur was printed at the beginning of bar 453 (in a new line), we assume that the slur from bar 452 reaches – in accordance with A – the 1st crotchet in bar 453. This is how it was reproduced in EE. In GE2 an arbitrary division of the slur before the 2nd beat in bar 452 was applied, same as in all the remaining analogous bars. In the main text we give the slur of A, the only undoubtedly authentic one.

The whole-bar slurs in the L.H. in bars 453-454 and 461-462 is a typical inaccuracy of GE1 (→FE→EE).
