b. 138

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

f2 in A (→GE) & EE2 (→EE3)

f2 in FE (→EE1)

..

The version of FE (→EE1) is almost certainly a result of an oversight of the engraver, although the lack of Chopin's intervention both in the subsequent proofreading of FE and  the pupils' copies is surprising. According to us, in the case of the proofreading of FE1, three changes in the 2nd half of the bar could have distracted Chopin to such an extent that, occupied with developing the details of the notation, he did not notice striking mistakes both at the beginning of the bar and in the next one, while the proofreading of FE2 was only of a random nature. Out of three pupils' copies, only FED bears traces of the 1st movement of the Concerto having been worked on with Chopin, so the lack of corrections is nothing particular, especially that also there Chopin took care of correcting mistakes in immediate vicinity (in bar 139).

b. 138-140

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

No slurs in A (→GEFE)

5 slurs in EE

..

Adding slurs in the L.H., modelled after the recapitulation (bars 286-288), is a deliberate revision of EE, in which sempre legato, added in FE, was omitted at the same time – see the adjacent note. The English editor would arbitrarily add slurs also in other pieces by Chopin, e.g. in the Nocturne in Dmajor, Op. 27 No. 2, bars 2-6.

b. 138

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

No pedalling in A (→GE)

Pedalling in FE (→EE)

..

Chopin added the pedalling in the proofreading of FE (→EE). It is a third addition – next to the tie of e2 and sempre legato – introduced in this proofreading.

b. 138

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

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE

Short accents in FE (→EE)

Long accents suggested by the editors

..

Both accents in A are typical long accents, which was not reproduced in the editions. Moving the first under the 3rd quaver is almost certainly a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE), who adapted this half of the bar to the adjacent ones. In the main text we move the first accent over f2, in accordance with the notation used by Chopin in the recapitulation (bar 285), more accurate according to us.

b. 138

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

..

In FE, the  raising d1 to dwas overlooked. The patent mistake was corrected in the remaining editions. The mark was added also in FEH.
