b. 214-215

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

No slurs in A

3 slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Slur in GE2
..

It is difficult to imagine that Chopin, when proofreading GE1, could have added slurs in the L.H. in this form: the added slur, analogous with the slur in the R.H. (cf. the slur in GE2), was either reproduced in a simplified manner (GE1 avoided long slurs, requiring a precise adjustment) or it is simply an editorial revision. Since in such a context the slur over the R.H. is valid also for the L.H., in the main text we leave the notation of A.

b. 214

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

Accent in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)

The missing accent in GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly an oversight.

The ties of b in bar 214 and a in bar 216, very carefully written in A, were nonetheless reproduced in GE1 (→FE→EE) as d1-e1 and c1-d1 slurs. In GE2 the first of them was arbitrarily moved, so that it combines f1 and e1.

Different accents in GE2
..

The signs under the chords in the L.H. in bars 214 and 216 in A are typical long accents. In GE (→FE→EE) the first of them was reproduced as a short accent, whereas the second one as a . In GE2 the latter was shortened – most probably after A – so it can be considered a long accent.
