b. 141-142

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

Different accents in A (→GE→FE)

Short accents in EE
..

EE unified the font of the accents in these bars, by arbitrarily changing two long accents in bar 142 and the vertical accent in bar 143 to common, short accents. It is particularly strange in the case of the vertical accent, since it was the signs with which EE would eagerly replace Chopin short or long accents.

b. 141

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

No slur in A (→GE→FE)

Slur in EE
..

The slur over the entire bar, added in EE, is probably inauthentic in this place. It was supposedly drawn from analogous bar 289, where its authenticity is also uncertain.

b. 141

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

6 dots in A & GE2

No marks in GE1

2 dots in FE (→EE)
..

All staccato dots in the part of the L.H. were overlooked in GE1. When proofreading FE (→EE), Chopin added signs only next to bass notes, which we consider his final decision. Analogous bar 289, whose regular notation of the part of the R.H. seems to be more mature, includes dots in the L.H. only under E and D.

b. 141-144

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

..

In the main text we give the version of A (→GE→FE→EE). However, Morch has a different rhythmic and articulation solution in the viola and cello parts:

.
Chopin most probably diversified this four-bar section in the versions for solo piano and with orchestra on purpose, taking into consideration the difference between the sound of piano and strings (it is the only case in both Concertos).
