b. 430-433

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

Double slurs in A & GE2

Single slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE) may have considered the double slurs to be an unnecessary complication. Cf. bars 472-480.

 in A & GE2

No sign in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The omission of the  hairpin in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an oversight of the engraver. The sign was added in GE2 on the basis of A.

2 slurs in sources

Slur suggested by the editors
..

As in the case of bars 426-427, we consider the gap in the slur to be a possible inaccuracy of notation.

b. 430

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

..

In FE, there are no accidentals on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar in the L.H. In the layout adopted by the majority of the editions, i.e. the first two semiquavers of the R.H. on the bottom stave, both sharps on the 3rd beat of the bar are to be considered necessary. The accidentals were added in GE1 (→GE2); moreover, a  was added before c​​​​​​​1 at the end of the 2nd group of semiquavers. In EE, ​​​​a  was added before the last notes of the 2nd and 3rd groups. The layout of GE3 corresponds to the one adopted in our system; that edition contains all necessary sharps.

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The two ones written in FEH in the R.H. differ in font and type of pencil from the fingering in the L.H.; according to us, they could have been added by Chopin. The fingering resulting thereof differs considerably from the fingering added by Fontana in EE. The 1st finger indicated in EE on e1 ​​​​​​​naturally explains the use of the 4th finger on e2. In turn, it is not that obvious in the fingering indicated in FEH, since the last group of semiquavers offers a few possibilities of fingering – 5234, 5124, but also 5123. In the main text, we include the fingering of FEH, indicated probably by Chopin.
