Pitch

b. 217

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

..

The cautionary flat before dwas added in GE (→FEEE). In a similar context, Chopin would frequently write signs specifying the pitch of a note, compliant with the key, after previously raising it an octave lower. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the addition comes from the composer.

The flat before the d minim in the L.H. was added by us.

b. 219

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

e2 in A (→GEFE)

e2 in EE

..

The addition introduced in EE, most probably due to e in the L.H., is, however, certainly erroneous: raising the bottom note in a roulade, independently from the chord being its harmonic background, is rather a rule than an exception.

c1-d1 in A (→GE1FE), literal reading

d1-d1 in GE2

c1-d1 in A, probable interpretation

..

The harmonically vague and sonically awkward version of A (→GE1FE) raised doubts already in EE and GE2, in which the penultimate quaver was changed – by analogy to bar 218 – to c1 (EE) or d1 (GE2). However, it is uncertain whether Chopin meant a strict analogy here, since he did not preserve such an analogy in the part of the R.H. This supposition is confirmed by a correction introduced in FED and this is the version, performed during lessons with Chopin, that we give in the main text. According to us, there is also another possible interpretation of the notation of A, assuming the occurrence of the most frequent Chopin mistakes – an oversight of cancellation of an accidental placed earlier. It leads to the last of the given versions, in which the last two quavers are c1-d1.

b. 220

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

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  before f1. We also include the cautionary  before the last bin the R.H., added already in GE1 (→FEEE, →GE2).

b. 225

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

..

Chopin precisely added accidentals in this bar, together with cautionary naturals before a1 (twice – in the R.H. in the marked place and in the L.H. at the end of the bar) and g2. The first of them seems to be superfluous in this place and it was removed already in GE2. In the main text we add a  before a2
