The slurs in the L.H., added in EE and GE2, cannot be authentic, since Chopin did not participate in the creation of those editions. The need to add slurs in the L.H. could have been provoked by the slurs added in GE1 in bar 256. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

In GE1 (→FE→EE) the slur is broken between the bars, in spite of the clearly combined slurs of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Corrections in A , GE revisions |

A possibility that Chopin added such slurs in the L.H. in bar 256 in the proofreading of GE1 has to be firmly rejected. However, he could have added there the same slur as in the R.H., which was implemented by the engraver in a distorted form. It allows to confer a certain likeliness of authenticity on the slur of GE2. In the main text, we stick to the notation of A, since the need to perform the part of the L.H. with the same phrasing and articulation as in the R.H. is obvious here. The slurs of EE, being a completed version of the erroneous slurs of GE1 (→FE), are certainly arbitrary. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
The traces of corrections, visible in GE1, prove that the slurs were initially divided on the bar line, which means that bars 254-256 were embraced – contrary to the clear notation of A – with three whole-bar slurs. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

In A it is unclear whether Chopin wanted to lead the slur only to the end of bar 256 or to the end of the solo part – a typical dilemma related to the transition to a new page. In the main text we adopt the second possibility, yet the version of the editions may be considered to be equal. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |
