..

The bottom note of the 2nd R.H. chord is a d in FE1. The patent mistake was corrected in FE2 (→EE).

b. 320-321

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

At the beginning of bar 320 and at the end of bar 321, in GE, and on the basis thereof also in EE2, regular bar lines were replaced by double bar lines. It is an arbitrary decision, contrary to Chopin's practices in this respect – he did not use double bar lines automatically when changing time signature or key.

b. 320

Adagio & sostenuto in A (→GE)

Adagio sostenuto in FE (→EE)

..

In A the sostenuto indication is written below Adagio and in slightly smaller font. Therefore, it seems that the engraver of GE was right when he decided not to combine the terms in one indication. On the other hand, the correction visible in A – instead of Adagio Chopin initially wrote Lento – shows that the final version of the indication was being developed gradually and that both its parts could have been written at a different time, which would explain the observed inconsistency in notation. Therefore, the FE version (→EE), which could have been added in this form by Chopin to [FC] or even while proofreading FE, can be considered an equal variant. We leave it to the discretion of the performers to decide what impact, if any, it has in practice.

b. 321

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

..

In A (→GE) there are no accidentals in the last group of semiquavers. In the proofreading of FE (→EE) two flats were added, probably indicated by Chopin, a cautionary before A and a necessary one before G.

Two-bar slur in A, interpretation suggested by the editors

2 one-bar slurs in A (possible interpretation→GEFEEE)

..

In A bar 321 is the last one on the page, which became the cause of the ambiguous notation of the slurs in the R.H. – the slur in bar 322 (on a new page) suggests a continuation from the previous bar, which is not confirmed by the ending of the slur in bar 321. In the main text we assume that Chopin's intention was a two-bar slur, yet the version of the editions, with two one-bar slurs, can also be considered a justified interpretation of A.
