b. 297-299

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

2 accents in A & GE2

No marks in GE1 (→FE)

Accent in bar 297 in EE

..

The absence of the accents in bars 297 and 299 in GE1 (→FE) may be considered to be a result of the inaccuracy of the engraver or of Chopin's proofreading – see bars 293-295. The accent of EE in bar 297 is a revision performed after analogous bars 293 and 295 or a mistake. The signs in GE2 were added on the basis of A.

Shorter  in A & EE

No sign in GE1 (→FE)

Longer  in GE2

..

The absence of the  hairpin in GE1 (→FE) may be an oversight of the engraver or Chopin's proofreading – see bars 293-295. The sign in EE may be a part of a revision unifying the markings after analogous bars 293 and 295. The sign in GE2 was added taking into consideration A, yet the range of the  was repeated after GE1 in bar 293.

b. 300

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

5 slurs in A & GE2

1 slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

It is difficult to say how the replacement of the slurs of A, natural in this context, with one whole-bar slur in GE1 (→FEEE) occurred. One of the possibilities is Chopin's proofreading, but leaving accents on every second note results in the fact that the effect of the change of slurring is barely aurally perceptible. Therefore, in the main text we adopt the undoubtedly authentic slurs of A.

b. 300

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

Long accent in A

 in GE1

 in FE (→EE)

 in GE2

..

In the main text we give the long accent written in A as the only undoubtedly authentic sign. The  hairpin in GE1, perhaps added by Chopin, can be considered to be a potentially authentic, equal variant. The versions of the remaining editions are most probably a result of inaccuracies – as in the case of FE (→EE) – or revisions (GE2).

b. 303-304

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

Whole-bar slur in A

Motivic slur in GE1 (→FE)

Motivic slurs in both hands in EE & GE2

..

The slur of A is probably the original version – cf. bars 301-302. Therefore, the longer slur in GE (→FEEE) may be a result of Chopin's proofreading.
The slurs in the L.H. added in EE and GE2 are inauthentic – see bars 297-298.
