b. 219

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

..

As in the case of analogous bar 107, in GE there is no  before a1, added most probably in the last proofreading of FE (→EE).

b. 219-220

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

2 one-bar long slurs in A

Two-bar long slur in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The two-bar slur, present in GE (→FE→EE), does not bear traces of corrections in print; therefore, we assume that it was an arbitrary decision of the engraver of GE1. However, taking into consideration the fact that the slur does not distort the phrasing in this place at all, and Chopin's possible proofreading cannot be entirely excluded, we regard this version as an equal variant to two slurs of A.

b. 219

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

 above staff in A

 between staves in GE (→FE)

No mark in EE
..

Moving the  sign under the stave and shifting it to the beginning of the bar must be arbitrary changes of GE (→FE). Both changes considered together impede the correct interpretation of this sign, which applies to the top notes of the figuration in the R.H., separated with additional crotchet stems. The absence of the sign in EE is probably a result of a revision – it was assumed that there is no need to double diminuendo signs. See also bar 220.

b. 219

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

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH
..

All sources including respective indications define the same fingering. In the main text, like in the few previous bars, we give the indications written in FED.

b. 219

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

Just like in b. 75, the sources are lacking in the  raising b to b, which is a patent inaccuracy.
