b. 304

Like in b. 45, 71 and 278, in the main text we suggest adding pedal markings after b. 19.

b. 304

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No slur in sources

Slur added by the editors

..

In this bar, we consider the absence of the first out of two slurs present in previous two, analogous bars to be Chopin's inadvertence (the composer's distraction probably also impacted the  mark). What is determined by this slur – the motif's structure and articulation – must be compliant with the previous bars, which excludes the possibility that the slur was omitted on purpose. Taking into account the above, in the main text we add a relevant slur. Cf. the notes in bar 300.

b. 304

B in A (→GEEE,IE)

B in FE

B suggested by the editors

..

In A (→GEEE,IE) there is no accidental to the 6th quaver, as a result of which it is to be interpreted as B1. However, it is highly likely that Chopin forgot to cancel the  here and that the ending of the bar, already without alterations, returns to the key of F minor (after a short deviation to C), in force since bar 293. This is how it was interpreted in FE, and this is the version we suggest in the main text, marking our intervention with the help of brackets.

b. 305

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

Crotchet c1 in A (literal reading→GEFEEE)

No crotchet in A (contextual interpretation)

..

The alleged additional crotchet stem next to cvisible in A is, according to us, an exceptionally imposing trace of Chopin's reflex at the time of writing notes on ledger lines. In order to secure visibility of such a note, the composer would give the note head the shape of a vertical line – see analogous note in bar 303. Sometimes, particularly when writing in haste (as in this case), the lines were long enough to look like a crotchet stem pointing downwards (a slightly shorter line in bar 301 did not mislead the engraver). See also the Etude in F major, Op. 10 No. 8, bars 4-7
