b. 326-327

Slur in A, literal reading

Slur in A (contextual interpretation→GEFEEE)

..

When interpreted literally, the slur of A does not exceed bar 326. However, its shape suggests leading it to the beginning of bar 327, which is confirmed by the corrected – most probably by Chopin – slur of GE (→FEEE).

In A there is no  lowering g2 to gbefore the 8th semiquaver. Chopin's patent oversight was corrected already in GE1. In such a situation, a  should be added before g3, appearing three semiquavers later at the same pitch, which was not done until in FE (→EE) and GE2.

No L.H. slur in A

Slur over L.H. part in GE1 (→FEEE)

Longer slur under L.H. part in GE2

..

The slur over the final section of the passage in the L.H. written on the bottom stave is most probably an addition of the revision of GE1 (→FEEE). In turn, moving the beginning of this slur to bar 327, introduced in GE2, is undoubtedly a revision.

b. 335

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

..

The trilled note in A is an erroneous c2. A similar mistake, consisting in writing the upper second of the trilled note instead of the trilled note, while the performance of the trill begins from the upper second, was committed by Chopin also in the Bolero, Op. 19, bar 187 and in the Sonata in B minor, 3rd mov., bar 20. In GE1 (→FEEE) the error was corrected, probably by Chopin, whereas GE2 returned to the erroneous text of A. See also the note in the next bar.

In the main text we add a cautionary  before b1.

b. 335-336

No slurs in A

Slur in bar 336 in GE1 (→FE)

Double slurs in EE

Slur in bar 335 in GE2

Slurs suggested by the editors

..

In the main text we add the slurs in the L.H. on the basis of the respective bars in the exposition. The slur in bar 336 was added already in GE1 (→FE), perhaps by Chopin. EE introduced double slurs, same as in the previous, analogous bars in the recapitulation. GE2 added a slur in bar 335 and removed the one in bar 336.
