b. 87

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

No indication in A (→GEFEEE)

in FED

Our variant suggestion

..

The  indication written in FED refers to the R.H. and, as such, it is probably a teaching remark aiming at inducing the pupil to perform a more pronounced accent and a fuller sound of the chord.

b. 87

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

e2 in chord in A & GE2

No e2 in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The missing enote in the last chord is either a mere oversight of the engraver of GE1 or – which is more likely – a side effect of the proofreading of the slurring. In analogous bar 19, all sources include a five-note chord.

b. 87

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

..

In GE1, particularly in later copies, one can see clear traces of correcting the slurs in the R.H. in the 2nd half of the bar – initially, the slur started (contrary to A) already on the 3rd beat of the bar. Apart from the trace of the original slur, one can also see distortions of the wavy line of the arpeggio, which suggests that the proofreading could have also embraced the upper part of the last chord.

b. 88

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

No pedal markings in A & GE2

 in GE1 (→FEEE)

Supplement suggested by the editors

..

No pedalling on the 4th beat of the bar is most probably a result of Chopin's distraction – the notation of pedalling stops in A on the  sign in the middle of the bar, perhaps due to lack of ink; after returning to writing, the composer could have been occupied with another issue. In a very similar context in bar 20, the pedalling – pedal on each beat of the bar – is written in the entire bar. The addition of  in GE1 (→FEEE) is probably a routine revision – it is hard to imagine that, when adding pedalling, Chopin would have overlooked the accented chord on the 4th beat of the bar. When removing the sign, the reviser of GE2 could have considered that it would be better to leave a general  indication on the 3rd beat rather than to suggest no pedalling on the 4th one.

b. 88

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

Slur in A & GE2

No slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The undoubtedly erroneously overlooked slur in GE1 (→FEEE) was added in GE2 on the basis of A.
