b. 230

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

m.s. over g1 in A & EE

m.s. over 9th semiquaver in GE (→FE)
..

The indication to perform g1 with the L.H. was moved in GE (→FE) to the beginning of 2nd half of the bar. A comparison with analogous bars 226, 234, 236, 238 and 240 proves that it is a mistake. The correct division between the hands was guessed in EE.

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

No mark in A (→GE)

Accent in FE (→EE)
..

The missing accent over g1 in A (→GE) must be considered Chopin's oversight – the accents are present in five remaining similar bars. The composer's distraction could have been caused by corrections in this place. The sign added in FE (→EE) is most probably a result of Chopin's proofreading, although one can ponder why the composer – since he already took care of the accents in this bar – did not complete the remaining deficiencies.

Pedalling in A & GE2

Pedalling in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The  signs, written slightly inaccurately in A, were misinterpreted in GE1 (→FE→EE). The correct interpretation was introduced in GE2. Justification of our interpretation – see analogous bar 228.

b. 231-232

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

No slurs in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

Slur in GE2

Slur suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the figuration in the L.H., starting slightly earlier than the one in the R.H., requires a separate slur. Therefore, we suggest a respective addition in the main text, taking as an example the beginning of the slur in the L.H. in an analogous situation in bar 227 and the slur in the R.H. in the discussed bars. A similar idea was most probably pursued by the revisers of GE2.

Staccato dot in GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The overlooked staccato dot is most probably an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2.
