Rhythm

b. 282-283

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

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.

b. 283

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

Crotchet b1 in A & GE2

Dotted quaver b1 in FE (→EE)
..

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

b. 283

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

Crotchet e in sources

Dotted minim suggested by the editors
..

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.

b. 286

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

e2 repeated in A (→GE→FE→EE1→EE2)

e2 tied in EE3

Tie to e2 suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest tying e2, after the Chopin proofreading of FE in the analogous bar of the exposition (bar 138). The tie was added in EE3, most probably on the basis of comparison with the exposition.

GE1 (→FE→EE), contextual interpretation, GE2
..

The first note in the top voice in A (→GE1→FE→EE) is an erroneous double dotted quaver. Moreover, the assignment of the middle note in the 1st chord is unclear; e2 – the head, devoid of a stem, could be combined with a2 in the top voice (as in the previous bar) or with d2 in the bottom one (as in analogous bar 170). The editions repeated the layout of the previous bar, at the same time assimilating the value of e2 with a2. The editors of mUltimate Chopin are inclined to the second possibility, suggesting in the main text a solution fully analogous with the version from the exposition.
