b. 267

The change of  to  is a quite common mistake, also in combination with  (cf. e.g. bar 233 and 247 as well as bar 199). Admittedly, in the discussed place the situation is slightly different, yet it is also a misunderstanding of the notation of A that is the most likely reason thereof. Therefore, in the main text we stick to the notation of A.

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

Slur from c1 in A

Slurs from minims in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Slurs from crotchets in GE2
..

A later beginning of the slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) is a typical inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. The repetition of this inauthentic slur in the L.H. proves that the addition was performed during a revision.

In A the flats were added in this bar in a visible haste, probably to complement the notation after the notes had been written. The signs before C and c are written a third too high, whereas instead of the necessary flats before g and c2 Chopin wrote signs before e and e1. The inaccuracy was not noticed in GE1 (→FE). The necessary signs were added only in EE and GE2, whereas the superfluous flats before e and e1 were removed only in EE.

In FE1, the topmost note in this bar is an a1. This patent mistake was corrected in FE2, perhaps by Chopin. It is noteworthy that, in spite of the correction of the pitch, a necessary in this situation flat lowering c2 to c2 was not added.
