b. 299-300

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

..

In A Chopin forgot to return the bass clef in bar 300. GE1 overlooked also the treble clef in bar 299. The mistakes were corrected – perhaps by Chopin – in FE (→EE). GE2 also includes the correct text.

5 slurs in A & GE2

1 slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

It is difficult to say how the replacement of the slurs of A, natural in this context, with one whole-bar slur in GE1 (→FEEE) occurred. One of the possibilities is Chopin's proofreading, but leaving accents on every second note results in the fact that the effect of the change of slurring is barely aurally perceptible. Therefore, in the main text we adopt the undoubtedly authentic slurs of A.

Slur from semiquavers in A & GE2

Slur over 2nd half of bar in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The later beginning of the slur in GE1 (→FEEE) is undoubtedly an inaccuracy of the engraver.

b. 302-304

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

..

In bars 302 and 304, Chopin placed a natural before the bcrotchet in A (→GE1FEEE). In the main text we omit those superfluous signs. The naturals were removed also in GE2. The signs reveal Chopin's way of thinking, considering the top and bottom voices independently – cf. the 3rd mov. of the Concertobar 422.
