b. 44

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

in A & GE2

No marking in GE (→FEEE)

..

The missing dynamic sign for the orchestral part's reduction is most probably an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE).

b. 47

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

..

In GE (→FEstaccato dots were placed also over the first two semiquavers in the L.H., which is a patent mistake. In EE and GE2 dots were added also in the R.H., certainly contrary to Chopin's intention: it is difficult to imagine that Chopin could have overlooked the dots twice (in the R.H. and in the L.H.).

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.

Crotchets in A

Dotted crotchets in GE (→FEEE)

..

The version of the editions is almost certainly erroneous – perhaps the engraver of GE mistook the hastily written minim rests of the solo part for dots extending the crotchets. 

FE overlooked the minim rest of the R.H.

If in bar 45 the version with the harmonic accompaniment was selected, the first version is to be selected here.

7-note slurs in A

7-note slur in A

Idem, R.H. only

8-note slurs in GE (→FEEE)

8-note slur in GE (→FEEE)

Idem, R.H. only in FES

..

On the last beat of bar 54, the slurs in A embrace the first 7 demisemiquavers only. The editions embraced 8 notes with them (in GE1 in the L.H. the slur erroneously embraces the entire figure and in FE the slur in bar 55 was shortened accordingly). In this case, the inaccuracy is understandable, particularly with regard to the slur of the R.H. that ends between g2 and a2.

If in bar 53 the version with harmonic accompaniment was chosen, one of the versions with slurs only in the R.H. is to be selected here.
