b. 186

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

f2 in the chord in A

No f2 in the chord in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The missing f1 in the editions is almost certainly a result of an oversight of the engraver of GE1, since one can see neither traces nor reasons for a possible removal of this note.

b. 187

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

b1 in A & GE2

c2 in GE1

e1-c2 in FE (→EE)
..

The b1 note on the 5th quaver in the bottom voice (our main text) is written in A and confirmed in parts of oboes and clarinets in Morch. GE1 most probably has erroneous c2 here, which, in the proofreading of FE (→EE), was replaced with an e1-c2 sixth. It is very likely that the proofreading was introduced by Chopin himself; however, it does not prove that he wanted to change the version written in ½A in this way – it could have been an ad hoc correction of the erroneous version of GE1. In this situation, we consider the less pianistically convenient version of FE, in which the consistent harmonic sequence in ½A (cf. the previous bar) was distorted, to be only a variant.

b. 190

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

..

In A there are no naturals raising d to d, B1 to B1 and d2 to d2. The first two were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), the third one – only in EE.

b. 191

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

..

In A there are visible traces of deletion of the e1 note from the 3rd crotchet in the R.H. It is possible that c1 was added instead of the deleted note.
