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

New slur from c2 in A

New slur from d2 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The earlier division of the slur in the editions is certainly a result of distraction of the engraver of GE1, who, seeing a similarly shaped group of four notes, gave a third consecutive four-note slur. The slurs probably indicate here the following rhythmic grouping of this 18-note figure: 4-4-5-5.

2 staccato dots in A

No marks in GE1 (→FE→EE)

1 dot in GE2
..

The overlooked staccato dots over G in bar 145 and A in bar 146 are certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE). GE2 added only the dot in bar 145.

 before 5th quaver in A

 before 3rd quaver in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The too early placed  sign is undoubtedly an inaccuracy of GE (→FE→EE), undermining the dramatic effect of the dynamically exposed phrase (con forza).
