b. 306-308

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

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In A the accents in bars 306 and 308 are long, which is very clear particularly in bar 308. In spite of this, in GE1 and subsequent editions they were reproduced as short ones.

b. 308

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

Staccato in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

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

Staccato dot in sources

Our alternative suggestion
..

According to us, the staccato dot over the 5th quaver in the bar may be Chopin's mistake. Therefore, we suggest an alternative version without staccato.

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

No mark in sources

Staccato dot suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest adding a staccato dot over the 1st quaver in the bar by analogy with the previous bar as well as taking into account the staccato in the identical figure in bar 160.

b. 314

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

Long accent in A

Short accent in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Reproducing the clear long accent as a short one is certainly an inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1.
