b. 252

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

 in A

No sign in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The missing  in the editions certainly do not correspond with Chopin's intention. The engraver of GE1 may have considered that it would be impossible to reproduce the sign written on notes in A in print.

b. 252

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

Slur to b1 in A (→GE)

Slur to a1 in FE (→EE)
..

A Chopin proofreading of the end of the slur in FE (→EE) is uncertain. However, even if the version of FE is an inaccurate reproduction of GE1, the slurs can be considered a contextual interpretation of the slur of A, due to the continuity of the figurations of the R.H.

According to us, all versions of the editions are a result of consecutively overlapping inaccuracies and misunderstandings. In GE the signs were related only to the notes on the bottom stave, which was then inaccurately reproduced in FE and EE.

b. 252

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

e1-a1 in A (→GE)

c1-a1 in FE (→EE)
..

The c1-a1 sixth is most probably a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE). It is difficult to assume that Chopin would like to replace the sequence of three voices of the accompaniment, compliant with all rules, with a parallel shift of chords, sounding worse.
