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.

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.

b. 2

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

d1 in A (→GE), FE2 & EE2 (→EE3)

d1 in FE1 (→EE1)
..

The absence of a  lowering d1 to d1 is certainly an oversight of the engraver of FE1 (→EE1). The mistake was corrected in FE2 and EE2 (→EE3).

b. 8

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

No c1 in A (→GE) & EE2 (→EE3)

c1 in chord in FE (→EE1)
..

An additional c1 note on the 5th quaver is certainly a mistake. The correct text in subsequent EE is a result of a comparison with analogous bars 27 and 76 or GE1.

In A (→GE1→FE) there is no  lowering f to f. Chopin's patent oversight was corrected in EE and GE2.
