b. 315

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In FE1 there is a  to the 3rd R.H. quaver, instead of a . The patent mistake was corrected in FE2.

b. 315

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

No sign in A (→GE) & FE

in EE

[] suggested by the editors
..

The missing  mark after  in bar 314 in A (→GE) and FE is probably Chopin's oversight related to the transition between the pages. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding the mark before the change in the figuration nature; such an addition was also introduced by EE. On the other hand, in spite of the change in texture, bars 316-318 are based on the same diminished four-note chord as bars 314-315, hence it seems possible to hold the pedal longer, at least until the middle of bar 316, which we suggest as an alternative solution in this bar. Generally, lonely  marks can often be found in Chopin's pieces, and sometimes it can be related to the difficulty in determining a precise moment the pedal should be released, particularly in similar situations to the one described here, cf., e.g. the Etude in D, Op. 25 No. 8, bars 19-20 and 27, the Prelude in C minor, Op. 45, bars 80-81 or the Waltz in C minor, Op. 64 No. 2, bars 15-16.

b. 316

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

..

In GE1 (→FE→EE) there is no cautionary  before G at the beginning of the bar, added in A later with a foreign hand. In the main text we include this sign, facilitating the interpretation.

b. 316-317

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

No slur in A (→GE1→FE)

Slur A-B in EE & GE2
..

The absence of the slur emphasising the A-B bass step is most probably Chopin's oversight. The slur was added by the revisers of EE and GE2.

b. 316-318

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

3-quaver slurs in A (→GE→FE)

4-quaver slurs in EE
..

Both top slurs in the L.H. in bar 316 and the first one in bar 318 embrace in EE four quavers each, in spite of the fact that in A (→GE→FE) the slurs continue the slurring scheme from bar 315. It is probably a revision unifying the slurs in bars 316-318, based on the erroneous slurs of FE in bar 317 and 318.
