b. 271-272

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

Slur in A

Slurs in GE1

Slurs in FE

Slurs in EE

Slurs in GE2

Over the part of the R.H. (in some editions under), apart from the top, several-bar-long slur, the sources include one or two additional slurs of varied range. According to us, it is most probably only the slur of A that is authentic, hence we give it in the main text. The absence of visible traces of corrections of slurs in GE1 makes a possible Chopin proofreading highly unlikely, whereas the subsequent minor changes of the range of the first slur, of inaccurate (FE) or revisional (EE and GE2) nature and actually without impact on the performance, cannot be authentic.

 in A

No sign in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The  hairpin is poorly visible in A from under the poco ritenuto indication. The engraver of GE1 (as well as the reviser of GE2) could have not noticed it or even considered that the indication had been written with an intention to replace (cross out) the  sign.

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Hairpin in FE (→EE)

Hairpin from 2nd quaver in GE
..

In GE, the ​​​​​​​ hairpin starts from the 2nd quaver. It is a minor inaccuracy of the engraver.

FE (→EE1→EE2) lacks ​​​​​​​ raising a1 to a1. The patent mistake was corrected in GE and EE3.
