b. 330

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Dashes to crotchet in A

Dashes to rest in FE (→EE)

Dashes to end of bar in GE
..

In all editions the dashes marking the range of dim. were led farther than the ones in A (by Chopin). In the case of FE (→EE) the difference is marginal, but in GE the range of diminuendo was extended to the end of the bar. In this context it is of no practical relevance, yet it reveals a certain tendency of the engraver of GE – cf. bars 306-310.

b. 330

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

in A

 in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

In A the  hairpin was written carelessly, hence in the main text we slightly extend it. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) the mark was extended to encompass almost an entire bar, which could suggest the performer a different approach to the crescendo with respect to the one indicated by Chopin. See also bar 328.

b. 331-332

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

Slur g1-a1 in A

Slur b-c1 in GE (→FE)

Slur d1-c1 in EE
..

The slur of A, although placed under correct notes, undoubtedly concerns the crotchets in the top voice; we reproduce it in this way in the main text. In GE (→FE) it was moved under the minims in the bottom voice (b-c1), which was inaccurately reproduced in EE, by combining d1-c1.
