b. 244

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

..

The bar is not written correctly in any of the sources. In A four signs are missing: a  before the 5th semiquaver (d2) and flats before the 7th semiquaver (b) and before the last two semiquavers (b2 and d2). In GE (→FEEE) only two signs were added: a necessary  before the 5th semiquaver (d2) and a cautionary  before the 14th semiquaver (d3). Moreover, A repeated a  before the bottom note of the last quaver in bar 244. The unnecessary sign was removed in EE1 (→EE2) and in GE2, but it was restored in EE3.

Slurs in A, EE & GE2

Slurs in GE1

Slurs in FE

..

The slightly too short 1st slur of GE1 caused an already more distinct inaccuracy in FE. The remaining editions include a text compatible with A.

Accents in A

Accents in GE1 (→FE)

Vertical accents in EE

Accents in GE2

..

In the main text we preserve the notation of the accents of A. It almost certainly marks – in spite of the use of single signs in five out of six places – accenting of respective notes in both hands. In GE1 (→FE) the signs were moved to such an extent that they clearly refer to the R.H. In EE and GE2 all accents were placed both in the part of the R.H. and the L.H., whereas in EE they were changed to vertical accents.

No L.H. slurs in A (→GE1FE)

2 slurs in EE

1 slur in GE2

..

The slurs in the L.H., added in EE and GE2, cannot be authentic, since Chopin did not participate in the creation of those editions. The need to add slurs in the L.H. could have been provoked by the slurs added in GE1 in bar 256.

cresc. - - in A

cresc. in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

No indication in FE (→EE1)

..

We give the cresc. marking, together with the dashes marking its range, after A (see also bars 263-264). In GE the marking was put slightly further and the dashes were overlooked, whereas FE (→EE1) does not have it at all. The absence of the indication in FE could be explained by a mistake of that edition or by a repetition of the original error of GE1, which was corrected in GE1 only in the last phase of proofreading. The indication was added in EE2 (→EE3) on the basis of comparison with GE1.
