In A there is no  lowering g2 to gbefore the 8th semiquaver. Chopin's patent oversight was corrected already in GE1. In such a situation, a  should be added before g3, appearing three semiquavers later at the same pitch, which was not done until in FE (→EE) and GE2.

Continued slur in A

New slur in GE

No slur in FE

New slur in EE

The division of the slur in GE (→FE), as a result of which the 2nd half in bar 328 is not embraced with a slur at all, is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of GE1. The version of FE – without a slur in bar 329 – can be interpreted as an oversight of FE or as a notation of the state of GE1 from before the final retouch. In the second case, the slur of GE1 in bar 329 would be an inaccurate attempt to alleviate the consequences of omission of the final one-and-a-half-bar fragment of the slur. A suitable completion of the slur, this time accurate, was introduced in EE. See also the note on the slur in the L.H.

No L.H. slur in A

Slur over L.H. part in GE1 (→FEEE)

Longer slur under L.H. part in GE2

The slur over the final section of the passage in the L.H. written on the bottom stave is most probably an addition of the revision of GE1 (→FEEE). In turn, moving the beginning of this slur to bar 327, introduced in GE2, is undoubtedly a revision.

b. 335

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

..

The trilled note in A is an erroneous c2. A similar mistake, consisting in writing the upper second of the trilled note instead of the trilled note, while the performance of the trill begins from the upper second, was committed by Chopin also in the Bolero, Op. 19, bar 187 and in the Sonata in B minor, 3rd mov., bar 20. In GE1 (→FEEE) the error was corrected, probably by Chopin, whereas GE2 returned to the erroneous text of A. See also the note in the next bar.

In the main text we add a cautionary  before b1.
