..

Similarly as in analogous bars 133-134, Chopin used here a misleading rhythmic notation, in which the d2 minim in bar 281 and the g1 minim in bar 282 are placed over the 2nd quaver in the bar or even after it. In this case, however, bar 282 was written in accordance with the contemporary rules already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), whereas in bar 281 the misleading notation is only in FE, in which the ambiguous notation of GE1 was erroneously interpreted.

b. 281

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

Long accent in A (→GE)

No mark in FE

Vertical accent in EE
..

In FE the accent over the d2 minim was overlooked. The accent was added in EE – in the form of a vertical sign – probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 133.

2 long accents in A

Short accent in GE1 & EE1

No marks in FE

2 short accents in GE2 & EE2 (→EE3)
..

In the main text we give the long accents of A. In the editions they were reproduced inaccurately as short ones. The differences in the number of accents are a result of oversights and revisions.

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.

b. 286

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

No mark in A (→GE→FE→EE1)

Short accent in EE2 (→EE3)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding an accent on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 138. The second half of this bar seems to have been written less carefully in A – cf. the note on pedalling. The accent was added in EE2 (→EE3), most probably on the same basis.
