b. 257-260

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

Slur in bars 257-258 in A

4 slurs in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The absence of three out of four slurs under the motifs in the L.H. in A must be considered Chopin's neglect (the slurs are still present in bars 261-262). Therefore, in the main text we include the slurs added in GE (→FE→EE), although it is not absolutely certain whether it was Chopin's proofreading. See also bars 259-260.

..

In Morch Chopin added the first note of the bar in the trumpet and French horn parts, probably also in the trombone and timpani ones.

Accent in A (→GE)

No mark in FE (→EE)

The missing accent is a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE).

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

No markings in sources

Accents & slurs suggested by the editors
..

In the sources the only performance marking in these bars is a  hairpin. The later additions of slurs in the proofreading of GE1 (the L.H.) and FE1 (the R.H.) prove that it is an inaccuracy, which Chopin himself tried to correct (although randomly). Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding accents and slurs after bars 257-258.
