b. 282-283

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

Slurs in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The well thought out moment of division of the slur was very carefully marked in A (there are visible traces of a correction). In spite of this, in GE1 (→FE→EE) the slurs were adjusted to bars.

e tied in A & GE2

e repeated in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The change of the tie of e to an e-b motivic slur is almost certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2.

Crotchet b1 in A & GE2

..

We consider the change of the rhythm in GE1 (→FE→EE) to be almost certainly inauthentic – see bar 135.

We consider that the subtle improvement introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of FE in the analogous bar in the exposition is valid also here. Chopin would often overlook proofreading of one of a few similar places.

In A there is no  asterisk after the  sign in the middle of the bar. This oversight, frequent in Chopin's works, unnoticed perhaps due to the end of the page in A, could have also contributed to the erroneous interpretation of the  sign as  in GE (→FE→EE). In EE   were added, most probably on the basis of the authentic pedalling in analogous bar 135. The pedalling was added also in GE2, although only in the incomplete version of A; the  sign was also preserved, in spite of the fact that it is not included in A.
