b. 32

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

Slur to semiquaver in A, EE & GE2

Slur to quaver in GE1 (→FE)

..

The inaccurate, too long slur of GE1 was misinterpreted in FE as clearly reaching the cquaver. The mistake was not repeated either in EE or in GE2.

b. 33

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

No octave in the sources

Octave suggested by the editors

..

At the beginning of the bar A (→GEFEEE) does not have the digit, marking the bottom note of the octave, E1. Since at the first appearance of this phrase in bar 14 Chopin added it in A, it is highly likely that the addition could be applied also here: omitting one (or more) of repeating places at the time of proofreading would often happen to Chopin in various works. It is worth remembering that, writing the Concerto in Warsaw, Chopin did not have the Esound at his disposal, since the scale of his piano reached to Fonly. Cf. bar 82 and 89.

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

Quavers in A

Semiquavers in GE (→FEEE)

..

According to us, the use of the semiquaver beam in the editions is a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1. In A similar groups are written as quavers in all three analogous bars (bars 14, 33 and 82) and it does not seem that Chopin would have preferred to change this notation.

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

Slur in A

Slur in GE1 (→FE)

Slur in EE

Slur in GE2

..

Both versions of the slur, appearing in the editions, are almost certainly inauthentic. The version of GE1 (→FE) is most probably simply inaccurate, similarly the version of EE. In turn, in GE2 it is probably an attempt to reinterpret the notation of A while taking into account the Chopin notation of analogous bars 14 and 82.

b. 33

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

Slur from 2nd quaver in A & GE2

Slur from 1st quaver in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

Although the beginning of the slur in A from the 2nd quaver remains beyond any doubt, in GE1 (→FEEE) it was erroneously reproduced as a whole-bar slur. The notation compatible with A was restored in GE2
