b. 281-282

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

..

Similarly as in analogous bars 133-134, Chopin used here a misleading rhythmic notation, in which the dminim in bar 281 and the gminim in bar 282 are placed over the 2nd quaver in the bar or even after it. In this case, however, bar 282 was written in accordance with the contemporary rules already in GE1 (→FEEE, →GE2), whereas in bar 281 the misleading notation is only in FE, in which the ambiguous notation of GE1 was erroneously interpreted.

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

Accent under R.H. in A

Accent over L.H. in GE (→FEEE)

Contrary to the clear notation of A, in the editions the accent was assigned to the L.H.

2 long accents in A

Short accent in GE1 & EE1

No marks in FE

2 short accents in GE2 & EE2 (→EE3)

..

In the main text we give the long accents of A. In the editions they were reproduced inaccurately as short ones. The differences in the number of accents are a result of oversights and revisions.

b. 288

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

3 slurs in A, probable interpretation

2 slurs in A (possible interpretation) & GE2

1 slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

Combining the slurs over the rest in bar 288, as it was done in GE1 (→FEEE), may be considered to be justified in this case – the slurs in A look like an inaccurately written one slur. In GE2 the manuscript was interpreted correctly. In turn, in the very A the slurring of the junction of the bars, which are written on adjacent pages, is unclear. The slur in bar 288 suggests a continuation, which is not excluded at all by the slur in bar 289. However, when discussed separately, the second slur seems to be a typical slur combining a grace note with a semiquaver associated with it, hence we consider such an interpretation to be more likely and we adopt it as the text of A and the main text.

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FEEE)

..

Replacing long accents with short ones is a typical inaccuracy of GE (→FEEE).
