b. 36

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

No slur in A (→GE)

Slur in FE (→EE)

..

The authenticity of the small slur running from the grace note and visible in FE (→EE) seems questionable. Chopin would not write conventional small slurs combining grace notes with main notes. It is also unlikely that it could be a vertical slur meaning an arpeggio, since the very grace note repeats the preceding semiquaver. It could be an erroneously recreated tie to c2.

In FE1 the  raising e1 to e1 was overlooked. The patent oversight was corrected in FE2 (→EE), most probably at Chopin's request, who also introduced another change here – see bar 28

In GE the  sign is wrongly placed to the right of the 3rd crotchet instead of to the left.

According to us, the mark getting increasingly shorter in FE and EE – in EE the mark is actually a long accent – resulted from inaccuracies in the recreation of the respective bases ([FC] and FE). It could have also been Fontana committing an inaccuracy in [FC]. However, it must be said that a possible difference in significance between these marks is marginal, since in the Chopinesque notation a  hairpin not preceded by a  mark means an 'extended long accent', which is to be interpreted as a long accent and diminuendo.

The second and third L.H. crotchets are signalised with crotchet stems only in FCs. In the Chopinesque system of shortcuts, it generally indicates repetition of the most recently written-down note, in this case the C-c octave (other examples of such notation – see bar 3, 7-9, 17). However, sometimes similar lines/stems point to various notes, the identification of which was obvious for the writing person, e.g. in the Mazurka in F minor, Op. 63 No. 2, bar 42. Taking into account the fact that in the discussed place the stems on the 2nd and 3rd beats clearly differ in length, one could assume that – as long as the copy faithfully conveys this detail – Chopin signalised here a text compliant with the published version, hence a C-c octave and an F-c fifth.
