b. 345

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

Long accent in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The accent, most probably overlooked in GE1 (→FE→EE), was restored in GE2.

b. 345

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

in A (→GE)

No marking in FE (→EE)
..

The absence of  in FE (→EE) is certainly a mistake of the engraver – cf. bars 4-6.

b. 345

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

Slurs in A, contextual interpretation

Slurs in GE

Slurs in FE (→EE)
..

In A the slur under the motif in the R.H. ends on a, whereas the corresponding slur in the L.H. – on B. A comparison with the slurs in the next bar allows to consider the first of them to be inaccurate. The slurs in GE can be a result of Chopin's proofreading, since leading the slurs to the end of the motifs is more natural here – cf. the authentic slurs e.g. in bars 4-6. In turn, an earlier beginning of the slurs in FE (→EE), being contrary to the structure of the motifs, cannot come from Chopin and is probably a result of an erroneous interpretation of the slurs of GE.

b. 345-346

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

..

This is the last bar on a page in A, which contributes to the uncertainty concerning the range of the slur started on the 2nd beat of the bar – the overpulled ending of the slur suggests continuation in the next bar; however, on a new page, in bar 346, there are no slurs. In GE (→FE→EE), the slur was led to the 1st chord in bar 346, which is almost certainly an accurate interpretation – cf. the slurring of the part of violin I in Morch as well as analogous bars 21-22.
