Chord in A

No cue in GE & EE

F in FE, contextual interpretation

..

In GE1, the omission of the chord of strings (together with the following rest) written in A may be considered a mistake – as a result of corrections, Chopin moved the notation of the solo part to an adjacent stave, which could have misled the engraver. It is difficult to say why these elements were omitted also in GE2. In this place FE has an erroneous crotchet (and a rest). It can be a misunderstood proofreading of Chopin, hence we adopt the crotchet, being harmonically correct, as the text of FE. However, it is highly likely that it was the beginning of the next bar that was printed here. EE omitted the erroneous notation of FE.

Contrary to other minor replicas from the orchestral part of this type, the discussed chord, same as the crotchets in the next bar, are only an illustration of the harmonic sequence of the orchestral accompaniment and they are certainly not to be performed, even in the solo performance.

b. 299-300

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

..

In A Chopin forgot to return the bass clef in bar 300. GE1 overlooked also the treble clef in bar 299. The mistakes were corrected – perhaps by Chopin – in FE (→EE). GE2 also includes the correct text.

Accent in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

Omitting the 1st accent is a mistake of GE1 (→FEEE).

Staccato in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The omission of the staccato dot in GE1 (→FEEE) is certainly a mistake. The sign was added in GE2 after A.

b. 319-320

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

..

Same as in analogous bars 169-170, in A (→GE) there are no flats restoring a at the beginning of the 2nd half of each bar. The mistake was corrected in FE (→EE), probably at Chopin's request.
