b. 19

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

Slur from crotchet in A & GE2

Slur from 1st quaver in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The earlier beginning of the slur in GE1 (→FEEE) is certainly erroneous and it was corrected in GE2 after A.

Staccato dot in A

No mark in GE (→FEEE)

..

Contrary to bar 19, in which the staccato dot is very clear in A and which was included in GE2, in bars 20-22, the presence of the dot in A may be suspected only in bar 21. A possible sign is, however, barely visible, so that none of the editions conveyed it.

b. 22

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

Slur to last quaver in A

Slur up to next bar in GE (→FEEE)

..

It does not seem that the slur of A should be interpreted in the way it was performed in the editions.

2 slurs in A, probable interpretation

3 slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

2 slurs in A (possible interpretation) & GE2

Our alternative suggestion

..

The range of the slurs in the L.H. in A is unclear; in the main text we give the most likely interpretation. The slurring of GE1 (→FEEE) is probably a combination of the initial inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1 and the later, perhaps authentic, proofreading of this edition. We suggest a proposal of conciliating this version with the notation of A as an alternative version.

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE

No marks in FE (→EE)

..

The accent in A in bar 23 is not a typical long accent, yet the musical context and analogy with the next bar encourage us to consider it a long one. The missing signs in FE (→EE) may be explained with an oversight of the engraver; however, it is also possible that the signs were added in the last stage of proofreading of GE1.
