b. 108-109

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

b2 repeated in A (→GE)

b2 tied in FE (→EE)
..

The tie of b2, added in the proofreading of FE (→EE), most probably by Chopin, is, according to us, a correction of the oversight of A (→GE) and not a change of the performance's concept. See the note on the L.H.

b. 108-109

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

c1 repeated in sources

c1 tied suggested by the editors
..

The missing tie of c2 is most probably Chopin's oversight – a corresponding tie is in analogous bars 106-107. See also the note on sustaining b2 in the R.H. as well as bars 107-108.

b. 110-111

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

f repeated in A (→GE)

f tied in FE (→EE)
..

The missing tie of f is probably an oversight of Chopin in A (→GE). It is indicated by the tie of this note in an analogous situation in the previous bar and it is confirmed by the Chopin proofreading of FE (→EE). After all, who knows whether the slur led under notes, combining the last chord in bar 110 with the first one in 111, is not an echo of the Chopin proofreading too: Chopin, as was his custom, could have written a short tie next to the target note, whereas the engraver of GE1 interpreted it as a motivic slur (see the note in bars 109-110).

b. 115-116

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

e1 tied in A (→GE)

e1 repeated in FE (→EE)
..

Reproducing the tie of e1 as a motivic slur of e1-c1 is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE).

b. 120

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

..

GE1 (→FE→EE) overlooked the tie of e1, probably due to a misunderstanding of the notation of A. The tie was returned in GE2.
