b. 341

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

No markings in A (→GE)

  in FE (→EE)

( ) suggested by the editors
..

Both dynamic indications –  and  – were added in the proofreading of FE (→EE), undoubtedly by Chopin. They can be regarded as a completion of the indications of A, but it also seems possible that one can handle this bar with less contrast, which is suggested by the notation of A (→GE). Therefore, we leave their inclusion to the discretion of the performer.

f1 in A (→GE)

a-f1 in FE (→EE), contextual interpretation
..

The addition of a in the proofreading of FE (→EE) is undoubtedly a Chopin improvement (it can be that Chopin corrected his own oversight in A). There is no extending dot next to this note, which, regardless of the reason, has to be considered an inaccuracy in this context.
