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 b2, b1, c3, e3 and d2.

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

In FE, there are no accidentals whatsoever in this bar. It is undoubtedly an error commited possibly by Chopin in [A] – cf. Etude in F minor, op. 25 no. 2, bar 56. Accidentals were added in both GE and EE:

  • the reviser of EE1 (→EE2) took the FE version at face value, and added a cautionary  before the lower note of the third on the 2nd quaver, thus confirming a1 there. This mistaken addition was corrected in EE3 after the analogous bar 59.
  • in GE the correct text was introduced immediately.
