b. 321-322

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
In A bar 321 is the last one on the page, which became the cause of the ambiguous notation of the slurs in the R.H. – the slur in bar 322 (on a new page) suggests a continuation from the previous bar, which is not confirmed by the ending of the slur in bar 321. In the main text we assume that Chopin's intention was a two-bar slur, yet the version of the editions, with two one-bar slurs, can also be considered a justified interpretation of A. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

b. 325-327
|
composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
In A bar 325 is the last one on the page. The slur in the L.H. clearly suggests a continuation (similarly as the slur in the R.H.), which, however, is absent on a new page (in bar 326). In GE1 (→FE→EE) the slur was completely overlooked, whereas in GE2 the slur of A together with the overlooked ending was restored. Since this is how Chopin's intention undoubtedly looked like, in this case in the main text we include the slur of GE2. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

b. 326-327

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
When interpreted literally, the slur of A does not exceed bar 326. However, its shape suggests leading it to the beginning of bar 327, which is confirmed by the corrected – most probably by Chopin – slur of GE (→FE→EE). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

b. 328-329
|
composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
The division of the slur in GE (→FE), as a result of which the 2nd half in bar 328 is not embraced with a slur at all, is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of GE1. The version of FE – without a slur in bar 329 – can be interpreted as an oversight of FE or as a notation of the state of GE1 from before the final retouch. In the second case, the slur of GE1 in bar 329 would be an inaccurate attempt to alleviate the consequences of omission of the final one-and-a-half-bar fragment of the slur. A suitable completion of the slur, this time accurate, was introduced in EE.
