In the editions (except GE2), the solo piano phrase in bars 209-210 is written with an octave sign. In GE1 (→FE→EE1) the dashes marking its range are erroneously led until the f2 minim in bar 211; there is also no loco indication following them. As a result, when interpreted literally, the minim is an f3, although in this context it is easy to see a mistake. In spite of this, in GE2, in which the entire phrase was written without an octave sign (as in our main text), the minim in bar 211 was also moved an octave higher, at the same time confirming its erroneous pitch. In EE2 (→EE3) the range of the octave sign was marked correctly. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
In the main text we give the slurs of A, since the changes appearing in GE and FE (→EE) are almost certainly a result of a routine, schematic interpretation of slurs by the engraver of GE1 and inaccuracies of FE. The alternative interpretation of the slur beginning in bar 212 suggested by us comes from an observation that in A the beginning of the slur falls over a deleted note, probably f2, which may mean that after having performed the correction, Chopin did not control the correctness of the slurring. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Corrections in A , Errors resulting from corrections |

In A there is only an ending of the slur in bar 213 (on a new page). Similarly as in bars 205-207, we assume that it demonstrates that the composer's intention was to embrace with a slur the preceding phrase or motif, which in this case comes down to emphasising the unexpected e category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

..
In spite of the clear extended slur of A, in GE the slur does not end on the last note in bar 212, which certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. FE (→EE) repeated the slur of GE in bar 212 (the last on the page), yet in bar 213, on a new page, a slur reaching the minim was added, as if it were an ending of the previous slur. The added slur is probably a Chopin one, and the ambiguity of notation is a result of a careless implementation of the proofreading, hence we assume that the slurs designate one slur, as in A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The missing slur and dots, marking the articulation of the chords, are most probably an oversight of the engraver of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |
