b. 139

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

No indication in A (→GE) & EE

sempre legato in FE
..

Chopin added sempre legato in the proofreading of FE, probably considering the accompaniment in this and two subsequent bars, devoid of slurs, requiring more precise articulation – in an analogous place in the recapitulation the L.H. is provided with slurs. In EE, in which the slurs were added here, sempre legato was omitted, which can be regarded as a rational solution, compliant with economy of indications, generally characteristic for the Chopin notation.
