Issues : Errors in the number of ledger lines

b. 83

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

Sixth e2-c3 in A

Octave c2-c3 in GE1 (→FE)

Octave e2-e3 in EE, FED, FEJ, FES & GE2

..

Both the sixth present in A and the c2-coctave in GE1 (→FE) are almost certainly mistakes – cf. analogous bar 15. In A Chopin wrote one ledger line too little (errors in the number of ledger lines are – except for accidentals – definitely the most frequent type of his pitch errors), whereas the change in GE1 may be explained by an editorial revision, a misunderstanding at the time of proofreading or a common mistake. Chopin wrote the correct text in all three pupils' copies. The version of EE and GE2 are most probably revisions, introduced on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 15.
