b. 230

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

m.s. over g1 in A & EE

m.s. over 9th semiquaver in GE (→FE)
..

The indication to perform g1 with the L.H. was moved in GE (→FE) to the beginning of 2nd half of the bar. A comparison with analogous bars 226, 234, 236, 238 and 240 proves that it is a mistake. The correct division between the hands was guessed in EE.

b. 230

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

No mark in A (→GE)

Accent in FE (→EE)
..

The missing accent over g1 in A (→GE) must be considered Chopin's oversight – the accents are present in five remaining similar bars. The composer's distraction could have been caused by corrections in this place. The sign added in FE (→EE) is most probably a result of Chopin's proofreading, although one can ponder why the composer – since he already took care of the accents in this bar – did not complete the remaining deficiencies.

b. 230

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

Pedalling in A & GE2

Pedalling in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The  signs, written slightly inaccurately in A, were misinterpreted in GE1 (→FE→EE). The correct interpretation was introduced in GE2. Justification of our interpretation – see analogous bar 228.

b. 230

composition: Op. 19, Bolero

 

a tempo in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

Our variant suggestion
..

The a tempo indication must have been overlooked by the engraver (or Chopin). The revisers of GE and EE2 (→EE3) added it in a justified manner, probably by comparing the notation with analogous bar 118.
