b. 292

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In the main text we add cautionary flats to e1 and e2. The L.H. accidental was also added by EE.

b. 293

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Arpeggio sign in A (→GE) & EE2

No sign in FE (→EE1)

..

The missing arpeggio is most probably an oversight by the copyist or by the engraver of FE1. The sign was added by EE2 after comparing it with GE1.

b. 293

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

No slur in A (literal reading) & FE (→EE1)

Slur in A (contextual interpretation→GE) & EE2

..

In A this bar ends a page and does not contain a slur. However, in the next bar Chopin wrote an ending of a slur reaching the 1st note and started a new one from the 2nd note. This undoubtedly proves that the absence of a slur in the discussed bar must be considered a mistake, hence in the main text we add the overlooked fragment of the slur, starting from the last minim, which seems most natural due to the change of register of the minim chord sequence. This is how this notation was interpreted in GE, while EE2 added the slur after GE.

b. 294

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

più mosso from 2nd crotchet in A (literal reading→GE)

No indication in FE (→EE1)

più mosso from first crotchet in A (possible interpretation) & EE2

..

As was the case with stretto in bar 290più mosso was almost certainly added to A after [FC] had been finished. When interpreted literally, the indication begins over the 2nd crotchet in the bar, which suggests that the tempo should be increased only just starting from that place. However, it is uncertain whether it actually corresponds with Chopin's intention, since in his autographs one can quite often encounter the remaining elements of an earlier manner of placing markings within their scope (cf. bar 109), which in this case would require a tempo change already at the beginning of the bar. This is how it was interpreted in EE2, in which the indication, repeated after GE1, was moved to the beginning of the bar. In the main text we reproduce the A notation; however, the EE2 version can be considered an equal variant.

b. 294

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Separate slurs in A (→GE)

Slur from beginning of bar in FE (→EE1)

Chained slurs in EE2

..

In the main text we give the A slurs (→GE), which provide the beginnings of the analogous phrases in bar 294 and 302 with homogenous articulation. The fact that the first two chords are to be separated was additionally specified with a staccato on the 1st crotchet. The FE slur is most probably authentic and corresponds with the phrasing in analogous bar 127. The EE2 version arbitrarily compiled the slur drawn from FE with the short slur repeated after GE1.
