R.H. slur from minim in A

In the main text we include the slur for the L.H. added in a proofreading of GE – cf. an analogous slur in A in bars 91-92 – even though it is not entirely certain whether it was added by Chopin. The undoubtedly erroneously shortened slur in the R.H. in FE made the reviser of EE perform a similar change in the part of the L.H. The mistake of FE was corrected with an entry in FED, performed in pencil.

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.

b. 2-3

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

..

The division of the chords between the hands on the 2nd and 3rd beats of bar 2 in GE (→FEEE) was reproduced incorrectly: contrary to A the b1 and bnotes were assigned to the L.H.
In GE1 (→FE) all five notes of the chord at the beginning of bar 3 were erroneously placed on one stem.

R.H. slur from 2nd beat in A

Slurs from 2nd beat in EE & GE2

..

The slur of GE1 (→FE) is clearly erroneous (put one crotchet too far), which was corrected by the revisers of EE and GE2. In both editions a slur for the L.H. was added, which we consider a correct decision, justified by the authentic slurs in the ending of this movement and by a possible Chopin proofreading of GE1 in bars 1-2.
