b. 12-13

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

Slur in A

Slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

Slur in GE2

Our alternative suggestion

..

The slur written in A stayed in GE (→FEEE) next to note heads, which perhaps may have induced Chopin to add a second slur, embracing also the preceding crotchet. According to us, the slur was probably supposed to replace the previous one. A probability of Chopin's proofreading is also indicated by a possible trace of correcting the previous slur in bar 12. However, not being certain of the authorship of these changes, in the main text we leave the version of A.

Slur in A & GE2

Slurs in GE1 (→FEEE), literal reading

Slurs in GE1 (→FEEE), possible interpretation

Different interpretation of GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The slurs of GE1 (→FEEE) may be partially considered a result of Chopin's intervention: the slur running from the 2nd quaver could have been added as a probably simplified correction of the erroneous, too short slur in the 2nd half of the bar. Apart from the literal interpretation of this slurring, we suggest another two possible interpretations.

b. 19

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

..

A (→GE1) includes a repeated  before the top note of the octave. The superfluous sign was removed in FE (→EE) and GE2.

Staccato dot in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The missing dot in GE1 (→FEEE) is certainly an oversight of the engraver.

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.
