d1-g1 in A (→GE), EE & FED

f1-b1 in FE
..

Disruption of the regularity of the sequence of semiquavers in the version of FE is certainly a result of a mistake of the engraver, who instead of the correct notes repeated two previous ones (f1-b1). Chopin corrected it in FED. EE also includes the correct text, which proves the good intuition and courage of the reviser of this edition, since the mistake, no matter how obvious, when seeing the correct text of A (→GE), gives a version that is neither sonically striking nor pianistically inconvenient.

b. 301-307

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

Short accents in A (→GE→FE)

Vertical accents in #E
..

The use of vertical accents in bars 301, 303, 305 and 307 is a typical discretion of EE. Similarly in bars 302 and 304.

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FE)

Vertical accents in EE
..

The evident long accents in A in the middle of bars 302 and 304 were reproduced in GE (→FE) as short ones, whereas in EE they were changed to vertical. It is certain that none of the changes comes from Chopin.
