b. 301-302

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slurs in A, literal reading

Slurs in A (possible interpretation→GE)

Slurs in FE (→EE)
..

The comparison with analogous bar 135 suggests that the A slurs are inaccurate here, particularly the one that ends on the last crotchet in bar 301. The beginning of the slur in bar 302 is written with a flourish, yet its shape quite convincingly indicates that it is related to the e2 minim and the respective accent. Taking into account the above, in the main text we give the unquestionable FE slurs (→EE).

b. 302-304

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

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FE)

Vertical accents in EE
..

The evident long accents in A in the middle of bars 302 and 304 were reproduced in GE (→FE) as short ones, whereas in EE they were changed to vertical. It is certain that none of the changes comes from Chopin.

b. 302-304

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

..

In bars 302 and 304, Chopin placed a natural before the b2 crotchet in A (→GE1→FE→EE). In the main text we omit those superfluous signs. The naturals were removed also in GE2. The signs reveal Chopin's way of thinking, considering the top and bottom voices independently – cf. the 3rd mov. of the Concerto, bar 422.

b. 302-305

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

Wedges in A

Dots in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The quavers opening these bars are provided with clear wedges in A. Reproducing them as staccato dots is a very frequent inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE).

b. 302

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

f3 in chord in FE (→EE) & GE3

d3 in chord in GE1→GE2)
..

A comparison with the five bars, which had already occurred, containing a similar procedure proves the mistake of GE1 (→GE2), corrected in GE3.
