Verbal indications

b. 223

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

When interpreted literally, the Tempo primo indication directs us to the beginning of the piece, which, of course, could not have been intended by Chopin. Therefore, formally speaking, come prima would be more appropriate, which means, among others, 'as before'. We keep the source indication, as the texture clearly indicates that it should be the tempo of the main section of the Fantasy that should be continued.

b. 234

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

ten. in A & GE2

No indication in FE (→EE) & GE1

..

The ten. indication was almost certainly added to A after [FC] had been finished (along with  and the accents), which explains its absence in FE (→EE). In GE1 it was overlooked (along with the slur – see the adjacent note), while in GE2 – added.

 & cresc. in b. 237 in A (→GE) & EE2

..

Both versions of the dynamic markings are almost certainly authentic and were most probably added by Chopin independently to A and to [FC] or while proofreading FE. In EE2 the markings were changed after GE1.

b. 252

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

in A (→GE) & EE2

No indication in FE (→EE1)

..

The missing  in FE (→EE1) most probably means that Chopin added it to A after the basis for FE had been finished, that is [FC]. However, in the case of a single mark, an oversight cannot be ruled out either. In EE2 the mark was certainly added after comparing it with GE1.

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

cresc. - - in A

No indication in FE (→EE1)

cresc. in EE2

..

The cresc. - - indication was most probably added to A after [FC] had been finished. GE reproduced it inaccurately, suggesting that its range should be longer. EE repeated the indication – in a reduced form – after GE1. Similarly, in bars 258-259.
