4 slurs in A & GE2

1 slur in GE1FE)

No slurs in EE

..

Four little slurs written in A from the grace notes to the opposite notes of the octaves emphasise the expressive character of the octave mini-motifs. The detail was fully reproduced only in GE2 – in the previous editions the majority of the little slurs was overlooked (in EE all of them).

The  sign, present in GE instead of  written in A, is a mistake, corrected then by Chopin in FE (→EE).

In the main text, we give the slurs in the L.H. in bars 156 and 158 after A. The half-bar slurs of GE1 (spanning 4 and 3 quavers) are a characteristic arbitrary decision of this edition. In the proofreading of FE (→EE), Chopin combined the slurs within the bars, leaving – as probably less striking – an inaccurately marked starting point of the slurs. GE2 corrected the starting point after A, but not the divisions.

b. 156-160

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

6 staccato dots in A

No marks in GE1 (→FEEE)

3 dots in GE2

..

The missing staccato dots next to the bass notes in bars 156 and 158-160 are certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE) – the signs in A are very small and sometimes put quite far from the notes. GE2 added dots only in bars 156 and 159.
