4 bars in AI, AII, AIII & A (→FE→GE,EE)

4 bars with fingering written in FED

The addition in FED – trill 4 bars – probably means a variant of beginning the Waltz in a way similar to the return of the main section from bar 69. We give each of the variants – four- and eight-bar – in the version with fingering, written also in FED, or without.

As starts right away with accompaniment, which corresponds with bar 5 of the version of later autographs and editions.

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

R.H. slur from minim in A

Slurs from minim in GE & FED

Different slurs in FE

Slurs from crotchet in EE
..

In the main text we include the slur for the L.H. added in a proofreading of GE – cf. an analogous slur in A in bars 91-92 – even though it is not entirely certain whether it was added by Chopin. The undoubtedly erroneously shortened slur in the R.H. in FE made the reviser of EE perform a similar change in the part of the L.H. The mistake of FE was corrected with an entry in FED, performed in pencil.
