Verbal indications

b. 1

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

in A (→GE) & EE

No indication in FE

written into FES
..

The absence of a dynamic indication is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE. The addition of  in EE was performed probably on the basis of a comparison with bar 91. In turn, the  indication written in FES, in spite of the fact that there are no reasons to question its authenticity, is, however, most probably only an ad hoc lesson comment, correcting the absence of the dynamic indication in FE. Therefore, we do not consider it to be an expression of a general change of the dynamic concept of this introduction.

() alternatively suggested by the editors
..

The  indication, added most probably by Chopin in FED, may be considered a more precise version of the notation or a change of the dynamic concept (see the previous note in this bar).

b. 21

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

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.

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

 in A & GE2

 in GE1

 in FE (→EE)
..

The  indication is written in A at the beginning of the bar. In GE1 it was placed between two chords, as a result of which FE (→EE) ascribed this indication to the 2nd beat of the bar. The authentic notation was restored in GE2.
