b. 370-371

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

2 long accents in A

Short accent in GE1

No marks in FE

Short accents next to  in EE

Long accent in GE2

According to us, all omitted and shortened accents in GE and FE are random inaccuracies. Moving the accents closer to  is a completely arbitrary revision of EE, unifying all these bars with the notation of analogous bars 29-32 (also erroneous) – see bars 369-375.

b. 370-376

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

..

In FE the  signs are written very carelessly in these bars – the sign in bar 370 points to the 3rd beat of the bar; the remaining ones (except for bar 373, in which FE does not have a ) fall between the 1st and 2nd beats of the bar (the last three are closer to the 1st beat). Since there are no doubts that the shifts are of a random nature, we reproduce them only in the version "transcription."

b. 370

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

In FE, the slur ends on the last note of bar 370, despite its continuation on the new line. It must be a mistake of the engraver. In EE and GE, the ending of the slur was extended – a revision we deem accurate – cf. analogous bars 230-231.

Fingering written into FEH

The finger swap written in FEH reminds of the need for a strict implementation of the tied bass note – see bars 361-363.
