b. 29

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

Fourth a-d1 in A, FE (→EE) & GE2

Sixth f-d1 in GE1

..

The sixth in GE1 is a clear example of a Terzverschreibung error, corrected by Chopin in FE (→EE). The correct version was introduced also in GE2.

b. 29

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

Long accent in A, probable interpretation

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

Short accent in GE2

..

The accent over the trill in A is clearly shorter than long accents at the beginning and end of this bar. However, long accents in the next bars already do not contrast so expressly with the discussed sign, hence we consider its interpretation as a long accent to be most likely. The missing accent in GE1 (→FEEE) is certainly an oversight. The sign was added in GE2 (as a short accent).

Slurs in A

EE (→EE1)

EE2 (→EE3)

..

It is hard to understand what the rationale of the engraver of GE1 was when he was drawing slurs so dissimilar to the notation of A. It may be that the slur beginning over the trill in bar 31 was added in the last stage of proofreading as an ad hoc, simplified correction: it is absent in FE (→EE1; in later EE the slur was added). This time, GE2 did not restore the slurs of A; it only removed the slur above the sextuplet.

Fingering digit in A

No fingering in GE (→FEEE)

..

The missing fingering digit in the editions is most probably a result of an oversight or misunderstanding concerning the essence of the dash over the grace note.

Slur in A

No slur in GE (→FEEE)

..

The oversight of the slur under the group of small notes is a patent mistake of GE (→FEEE).
