b. 21

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

dim. in A & GE2

No indication in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

Omission of the dim. indication in GE1 (→FE→EE) is, according to us, of an accidental character.

Motivic slurs in A

Rhythmic slurs in GE (→FE→EE)
..

In the main text we give the motivic slurs of A, whose authenticity is unquestionable. The slurs of the editions, being probably a result of carelessness and routine approach of the engraver of GE1, could have been then accepted by Chopin.

b. 21

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

..

In A there are no naturals raising d3(2) to d3(2). Chopin's patent oversight was corrected (perhaps by himself) already in GE (→FE→EE).

b. 22

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

..

In A the naturals raising d notes to d are written only on the 4th beat of the bar. In spite of this, there are no doubts that d is required in the entire 2nd half of the bar. In GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) a  raising d3 to d3 at the beginning of the 3rd beat of the bar was added (referring also to d4), but only EE and GE2 include a corresponding sign before the penultimate semiquaver.

None of the editions added the naturals returning f3 and f2  that Chopin overlooked in A.
