In the main text we suggest adding the slur of the L.H., since its absence in the editions was most probably caused by lack of space in A, where the slur of the R.H. is written under the roulade. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

In A the slur in the 2nd half of bar 77 does not reach the end of the group of hemidemisemiquavers. It is most probably an inaccuracy; however, it is unknown whether Chopin wanted to lead it only until the end of the bar or lead it further. The slur at the beginning of bar 78 (on a new page of the manuscript) clearly indicates the latter. The solution adopted in the editions may be considered an alternative interpretation of A, particularly since the slur in bar 77 was corrected in GE1, most probably by Chopin. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A , Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |

The slur of GE1 (→FE→EE) is certainly inaccurate – it perfectly shows the disrespectful attitude of the engraver of GE1 to the Chopin slurring. The inaccuracy was partially corrected in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The missing small slurs next to both grace notes in this bar is almost certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE). The signs were added in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II
..
The slur in the L.H. was added in GE (→FE→EE), probably by Chopin – traces of corrections in print prove that he extended here the slur in the R.H., originally starting in GE1 only from demisemiquavers. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of GE , Corrected slurs of Op. 21 in GE1 |
