b. 227-228

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

Slur from semiquavers in A

2 slurs in GE1

Slur from chord in FE (→EE) & GE2

..

Both the earlier beginning of the slur in the editions and the division of the slur in GE1 are results of an inaccuracy typical for the engraver of this edition. The latter was corrected both in FE (→EE) and GE2. See also the note on slurs in the L.H.

b. 227-228

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

Slur in A, literal reading

Half-bar slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

Two-bar slur in GE2

Interpretation of slur in A suggested by the editors

..

The slur in the L.H. reaches in A only the end of bar 227 (or the beginning of the next one), which may be explained by incompletion (Chopin forgot to end the slur) or abandonment (Chopin resigned from ending the slur in the face of the slur in the R.H.). The second possibility is supported by the fact that until bar 240 no other passage in the L.H. has a separate slur. In this situation, can we consider the slurs of GE1 (→FEEE) to be inspired by Chopin? In the proofreading, the composer might have added one slur implemented by the engraver as four half-bar slurs, with which he facilitated his work. In this situation, in the main text we suggest extending the slur of A to the beginning of bar 229, in accordance with the most likely interpretation of the slur of the R.H.

b. 227-228

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

..

The notation of accidentals in this passage is very inaccurate in A, particularly in the part of the R.H., in which only the 1st half of bar 228 includes all necessary signs. Luckily, it does not impede the correct interpretation of the text. In the editions the signs were gradually added, but only GE2 and EE3 have the fully correct text.

b. 227

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

..

Chopin wrote four cautionary flats in A – three at the beginning of the bar and a fourth one before d3. The signs were repeated in GE, whereas in FE (→EE1) the flats before the octave in the L.H. were overlooked. These were in turn restored – most probably on the basis of comparison with GE1 – in EE2 (→EE3). In the main text we add five cautionary signs more, before b2b1c3e3 and d2.

b. 227

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

In FE, it was initially f that was the third quaver. It was most probably a Terzverschreibung mistake, corrected in print.
