b. 83-90

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

Three-note slurs in A & GE2

Four-note slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The half-bar slurs in the editions – the first in bar 83 and both in bars 85 and 90 – are almost certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1, who apparently did not take the Chopin slurs too seriously, perhaps considering them to be written carelessly.

b. 85-86

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

2 slurs in A

3 slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

Different 3 slurs in GE2

..

Two slurs of A, defining the phrasing of these two bars, were replaced in GE1 (→FEEE) with three slurs dividing the phrase into half- and whole-bar sections, which was only partially corrected in GE2.

b. 85

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

Grace note & arpeggio sign in A

Grace note in GE1

Double grace note in FE (→EE)

Slur & grace note in GE2

..

Both authentic notations of the ornament – A and FE (→EE) – mean the same performance. The mistake of GE1 originated from an unrecognised arpeggio sign in the vertical slur, which, at that period of Chopin's life, would increasingly replace the more accurately written signs in the form of a wavy line. The way the slur was added in GE2 caused that the proper sense of the Chopin notation was still not conveyed in this edition.

..

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.
