b. 429

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

a1 in EE and GC (→GE)

a1 in FE
..

No  in FE augmenting a1 to a1 may be an omission, similarly in b. 87.

b. 429-432

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

cresc. - - - - in A

cresc. in GE1 (→FE→EE)

cresc. - - in bar 429 in GE2
..

Ignored dashes marking the range of cresc. is a frequent inaccuracy of the first Chopinesque editions. The fact that GE2 added dashes only in bar 429 may be explained by an inaccuracy (it is the last bar on the page in GE2 – cf. bars 469-474). However, further dashes may have been thought to be contrary to the   hairpins.

b. 429

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

Long accent in A, probable interpretation

 in A (possible interpretation→GE→FE→EE)
..

It is unclear whether Chopin had a long accent in mind, emphasising the last chord of the cadence, or a short , related to the passage opening the four-bar, wavy sequence. In the main text we favour the first interpretation.

b. 429

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

..

GE1 (→GE2) overlooked the rest after the 1st quaver. The mistake was corrected in GE3.
