No slur in A (→GE→FE)

Slur in EE
..

The slur over the entire bar, added in EE, is probably inauthentic in this place. It was supposedly drawn from analogous bar 289, where its authenticity is also uncertain.

6 dots in A & GE2

No marks in GE1

2 dots in FE (→EE)
..

All staccato dots in the part of the L.H. were overlooked in GE1. When proofreading FE (→EE), Chopin added signs only next to bass notes, which we consider his final decision. Analogous bar 289, whose regular notation of the part of the R.H. seems to be more mature, includes dots in the L.H. only under E and D.

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

No slur in A (→GE)

Slur in FE (→EE)

Our alternative suggestion
..

The slur was added in the proofreading of FE (→EE) almost certainly by Chopin (together with a staccato dot above E). Taking into account a possibility of an erroneous interpretation of the Chopin entry, we suggest an alternative solution with a slur from the 2nd quaver in the bar. Cf. bar 290.

No mark in A (→GE)

Staccato dot in FE (→EE)
..

The staccato dot over the 1st quaver in the L.H. was added in the proofreading of FE (→EE), most probably by Chopin.
