Slurs to bar 248 in GE2

Shortening the slur in the editions is certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. In turn, in the case of the addition of a slur for the L.H., Chopin's proofreading cannot be entirely excluded. In GE2 both slurs were preserved, extending both in accordance with the notation of the slur in the R.H. in A.

Slur from a in A, FE (→EE) & GE2

Slur from d1 in GE1

..

A later beginning of the slur in GE1 is an evident inaccuracy (the engraver made his work easier by avoiding an atypical slur). A slur compliant with the course of music was introduced both in FE (→EE) and GE2. The correction in FE could have been ordered by Chopin, but it remains uncertain.

b. 248-249

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

Two slurs in A

One slur in GE (→FEEE)

..

Taking into account the erroneous beginning and end of the slur of GE1, it is difficult to assume that Chopin controlled this place. Therefore, in the main text we give the most likely interpretation of the slurs of A – due to the change of the page (from bar 249), the separation of the slurs can be questioned; however, according to us, neither the slur in bar 248 nor the one in bar 249 suggest an intention to combine them.
