Crotchet b1 in A & GE2

Dotted quaver b1 in FE (→EE)
..

We consider the change of the rhythm in GE1 (→FE→EE) to be almost certainly inauthentic – see bar 135.

In A there is no  asterisk after the  sign in the middle of the bar. This oversight, frequent in Chopin's works, unnoticed perhaps due to the end of the page in A, could have also contributed to the erroneous interpretation of the  sign as  in GE (→FE→EE). In EE   were added, most probably on the basis of the authentic pedalling in analogous bar 135. The pedalling was added also in GE2, although only in the incomplete version of A; the  sign was also preserved, in spite of the fact that it is not included in A.

b. 285

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

2 long accents in A

Short accent in GE1 & EE1

No marks in FE

2 short accents in GE2 & EE2 (→EE3)
..

In the main text we give the long accents of A. In the editions they were reproduced inaccurately as short ones. The differences in the number of accents are a result of oversights and revisions.

..

In A (→GE1→FE) there are no accidentals in the last group of semiquavers. In EE the necessary  returning f2 on the last semiquaver was added, whereas in GE2 and EE3 two cautionary flats at the beginning of this group, before b2 and a2 (in the main text we include only the first one).

b. 289

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

3 staccato dots in A & GE2

No marks in GE1 (→FE)

L.H. dots in EE
..

In GE1 (→FE) there is none of the three staccato dots written in A (under both bass notes and over the top most note in the R.H.), which is undoubtedly a mistake. EE added the signs in the L.H. (also in the next bar), most probably on the basis of comparison with the corresponding bar of the exposition. GE2 reproduced the notation of A.
