b. 278

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

..

In A there is no  restoring a. This patent mistake – cf. analogous bar 130 – remained unnoticed by Chopin both during the proofreading and lessons. Revisers of the editions also did not notice it.

b. 278-279

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

No slurs in A

3 slurs in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The slurs of GE (→FE→EE) could have been added by Chopin; however, according to us, it is highly unlikely due to their schematic range, whose relationship with the figuration's structure is largely unconvincing.

4 crotchets in A (→GE)

3 crotchets in FE (→EE)

According to us, omission of the additional quaver stem next to f1 is a result of the Chopin proofreading of FE (→EE), which is indicated by possible traces of correction in print in this place (e.g. a slightly bigger note head of the note). Taking into account the fact that in analogous bar 130 f1 is not extended, one can come to a conclusion that Chopin could have written the fourth stem in the discussed bar by mistake.

Slur to d1 in A

Slur to e1 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The slur of A seems to be inaccurate – in this context it is difficult to assume that e1 were to be separated from the previous quavers (cf. analogous bar 132). Therefore, the version of GE may be a result of Chopin's proofreading.
