b. 276-278

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

Slur in bar 278 in A (literal reading)

2 slurs in GE (→FE)

2 slurs in EE

Slur in bars 276-278 suggested by the editors

..

In A bar 277 is the last one on the page and it does not contain phrase marks. In turn, in bar 278 there is a slur suggesting a continuation from the previous bar. Therefore, it seems that Chopin forgot to write the initial part of the slur, most probably of the one with which he embraced that phrase in bars 128-130. This is the slur we suggest in the main text. In GE, next to the slur in bar 278, roughly reproduced, a slur of a similar range was added also in bar 277. If the implemented proofreading had been inspired by Chopin, which cannot be excluded, it would be a correction of an ad hoc nature rather than an intended variation of phrasing.

b. 276

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

Quaver c1 in A & FE (→EE)

Crotchet c1 in GE

..

A line pointing down next to ledger lines (most of the time the first bottom one, i.e. c1 or E – see e.g. the last E in bar 280), sometimes appearing in Chopin's autographs, misled here the engraver of GE. The additional stem is already absent in FE (→EE), which could have been, but did not have to, a result of Chopin's proofreading. However, one has to admit that in this case the extension of cis quite reasonable, as far as the harmony is concerned.

b. 276

composition: Op. 44, Polonaise in F♯ minor

Quaver a1-c2 in GE1 & FE (→EE)

Crotchet a1-c2 in GE2

..

Similarly as in bar 43, splitting the first chord into two parts – this time the upper crotchet comprises the a1-c2 third – is an arbitrary revision of GE2.
