2 long accents in A

2 short accents in GE1 (→FE)

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

Slur in A & GE2

No slur in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The absence of the slur embracing the grace nots is probably a result of inattention of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE).

c2 in chord in A, FE (→EE) & GE2

a1 in chord in GE1
..

The version of GE1 is certainly erroneous: it is most probably a revised Terzverschreibung error, by adding a . Chopin restored the chord with c2, written in A, in a proofreading of FE (→EE). At the time of executing this proofreading, a superfluous  was moved together with the note head.

b. 21

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

Long accents in A

No marks in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Short accents in GE2
..

According to us, the fact of removing the accents by Chopin in a proofreading of GE1 (→FE→EE) is less likely than them having been accidentally overlooked by the engraver (there are more similar inaccuracies, both in this and the previous bar). GE2 restored the accents (as short).

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.
