b. 209

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

Crotchet b in sources

Minim suggested by the editors
..

The value of the crotchet for the b note, ending the bassoon's motif, is probably Chopin's mistake – in Morch the note is a minim, same as the remaining voices.

Slur to bar 211 suggested by the editors

Slur to bar 211 in A & GE2

Slur to end of bar 210 in GE1 (→FE→EE)

The shortened slur in the majority of the editions is a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1.
