b. 255

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

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering coming probably from Chopin – compatible with the authentic fingering of the Etude in G minor, Op. 25 No. 6, bars 57-59 – is written in FED (with a pupil's hand).

b. 255-256

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

No L.H. slur in A

2 slurs in bar 256 in GE1 (→FE)

3 slurs in EE

1 slur in GE2

..

A possibility that Chopin added such slurs in the L.H. in bar 256 in the proofreading of GE1 has to be firmly rejected. However, he could have added there the same slur as in the R.H., which was implemented by the engraver in a distorted form. It allows to confer a certain likeliness of authenticity on the slur of GE2. In the main text, we stick to the notation of A, since the need to perform the part of the L.H. with the same phrasing and articulation as in the R.H. is obvious here. The slurs of EE, being a completed version of the erroneous slurs of GE1 (→FE), are certainly arbitrary.

b. 255

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

..

The traces of corrections, visible in GE1, prove that the slurs were initially divided on the bar line, which means that bars 254-256 were embraced – contrary to the clear notation of A – with three whole-bar slurs.

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

FE (→GE,EE) has a cas the 2nd semiquaver. It is a typical Terzverschreibung error of the engraver (or perhaps of Chopin in the Stichvorlage for FE). Chopin corrected the erroneous note in pencil in FES.
