b. 426-428

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

..

It is only GE2 that includes a natural before b2, the 4th quaver in bars 426 and 428; however, due to the use of an octave sign, we consider the sound of this note to be specified also in the remaining sources.

Slur from semiquavers in FE (→EE) & GE3

Slur from quaver in GE1 (→GE2)
..

An earlier beginning of the slur in GE1 (→GE2) must be an inaccuracy of the engraver who could have misinterpreted the "encompassing" slur of FE. A slur compliant with both piano and musical logic was restored in GE3.

2 slurs in sources

Slur suggested by the editors
..

Both this passage and a similar one 4 bars later are encompassed with two slurs. In spite of this, in both cases one can find a justification for divisions of those slurs (each time different); according to us, the most likely explanation for this state of affairs is an inaccurate notation resulting from, e.g. the layout with an octave sign encompassing also the 2nd beat of the bar, which favours divisions of slurs, or from the transition to a new line in [A] (in bars 430-431). Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest a slur encompassing the entire sequence of semiquavers in each of those places.

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

Both Fontana's fingering in EE and the entry in FEH (most probably performed by the pupil's hand) differ from the Chopinesque fingering indicated in FED.
