Accents in A

Accents in GE1 (→FE)

Vertical accents in EE

Accents in GE2

..

In the main text we preserve the notation of the accents of A. It almost certainly marks – in spite of the use of single signs in five out of six places – accenting of respective notes in both hands. In GE1 (→FE) the signs were moved to such an extent that they clearly refer to the R.H. In EE and GE2 all accents were placed both in the part of the R.H. and the L.H., whereas in EE they were changed to vertical accents.

Slur to bar 248 in A

Slurs in bar 247 in GE1 (→FEEE)

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.

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

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.
