Pitch
b. 99-100

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I
..
In these bars, in the part of the R.H. A has only one raising d to d – at the beginning of bar 99. The returning b1 at the beginning of the septuplet in bar 100 is also missing (all previous figures are delayed at the beginning of the group, a suspicion of Chopin's mistake is confirmed by the written in FED). The editions added both necessary and cautionary signs; superfluous signs were deleted too, yet none of the editions has the completely correct text. In the main text we give all signs necessary for the correct determination of the pitch and two cautionary flats at the beginning of bar 100. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , Omissions to cancel alteration , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Inaccuracies in A |

The notation of accidentals in the figurations in these bars is both refined and inaccurate in A. Chopin took care of the cautionary signs (naturals before the topmost c2, c3 and c4 notes and flats before d1 and d3 in the ending of bars 101 and 103); however, he omitted a number of necessary signs – naturals returning c2 and c3 at the beginning of the last group in bars 102 and 103 and naturals raising d2 to d2 and e2 to e2 in bar 103. The editions addressed only the last two mentioned inaccuracies:
In the main text we give all necessary signs and we add a cautionary before d2 in bar 102. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Inaccuracies in A |

In GE1 the second out of three accents was overlooked and the difference in their length was not taken into account. The overlooked accent was restored in the proofreading of FE (most probably by Chopin) and in GE2. The change of font of the accents in EE is a typical revision of this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

..
In the sources there is no returning f on the 7th quaver in bar 105. Similarly, in bar 107 Chopin overlooked a before f1. Those patent mistakes were undiscovered both by the revisers of the editions (in total 7 proofreadings in 3 editions) and by Chopin himself, who had to look at those places at least once, when, proofreading FE1, he added slurs embracing the discussed notes in both bars. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Omissions to cancel alteration , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

In A (→GE1→FE→EE1→EE2) there is neither a returning a2 in bar 107 nor a cautionary before e3 in bar 108. In GE2 only the first was added and in EE3 – only the second. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |
