b. 44

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

Small a1 in A (→GEFE)

Normal a1 in EE

Sixth suggested by the editors

..

The addition to the orchestral part's piano reduction suggested by us is based on the similarity of the harmonic scheme of bars 42-43 and 43-44 (excluding the different bass progression on the 2nd beat of bar 42, all instruments have identical parts in Morch). However, since the demisemiquaver figures of the solo part are not identical, the analogy is not strict and the use of a solitary ain bar 44 could have been intended by Chopin.

In FES Chopin wrote a simplified reduction of the recitative's orchestral accompaniment, which can be used while performing this movement solo. The accompaniment is to be played with the L.H. instead of the original part and in few places also the part of the R.H. was completed. In bars 45-47 the notation is most probably inaccurate – the applied abbreviation, when interpreted literally, orders striking the bass in the bottom octave (A1), which is both sonically unjustified and technically uncomfortable (cf. similar inaccuracies in the Etude in A major, Op. 25 No. 1, bars 1-8 and the Nocturne in D major, Op. 27 No. 2, bar 1).

After choosing the version with the harmonic accompaniment, it may be necessary to select relevant versions also in bars 45 (pedal), 46 (staccato dots), 47-48 (slurs), 51 (slurs) and 52 (slurs and staccato signs).

b. 49-50

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

..

In A (→GEFE) there is no treble clef in bar 50 (we do not include the sign written in pencil with a foreign hand, probably later). In GE (→FE) the bass clef in bar 49 was also overlooked. The mistake was corrected in EE.
