Issues : Corrections in A

b. 191

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

..

In A there are visible traces of deletion of the enote from the 3rd crotchet in the R.H. It is possible that cwas added instead of the deleted note.

Slurs from d2 in A

Slurs from a1 in GE

Slurs from f2 in FE (→EE)

Our alternative suggestion

..

In the main text we give the slurs of A, since the changes appearing in GE and FE (→EE) are almost certainly a result of a routine, schematic interpretation of slurs by the engraver of GE1 and inaccuracies of FE.

The alternative interpretation of the slur beginning in bar 212 suggested by us comes from an observation that in A the beginning of the slur falls over a deleted note, probably f2, which may mean that after having performed the correction, Chopin did not control the correctness of the slurring.

End of slur in # & GE2

No sign in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The slur in A embraced originally only the nonuplet in the 2nd half of the previous bar; however, it was then extended by Chopin until the dminim. In GE1 (→FEEE) the extension was not taken into consideration, which was corrected in GE2.

3 accents in A

Short accent in GE1 & EE

Long accent in FE

..

The given version of A is already a result of Chopin's corrections, who changed the rhythm and articulation in the 1st half of the bar. Therefore, there is no doubt that the reduction of the number of accents in GE1 (→FEEE) also came from him. In the main text we give the latest version, changing only the accent, to a long one, much more likely in this context and generally erroneously reproduced in the editions (further changes to the type of accents in FE and EE are probably arbitrary too). GE2 restored the accents removed by Chopin, which points to the use of an autograph at the time of revising GE2 and not the test copy of GE1 with Chopin's proofreading.

c2 repeated in A

c2 tied in GE (→FEEE)

..

Together with the change of accentuation Chopin changed in the proofreading of GE (→FEEE) also the rhythm: the last crotchet in the 1st half of the bar was sustained and a possible quintuplet of semiquavers was divided into a triplet and a pair of common semiquavers. The change, similarly as in the case of the accents, constitutes the final stage of rhythmic transformations, since the traces of corrections in A prove the existence of an already earlier version.
