b. 245-250

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

Tenuto slurs in A

Regular slurs in GE (→FE→EE)
..

Both in bar 246 and bar 250 the slur in A reaches almost the end of the bar, which we interpret as a slur-tenuto and we keep it in the main text. In GE (→FE→EE) the slurs end in a conventional manner, reaching only the minim on the 2nd beat of the bar.

b. 245-246

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

g repeated in A (→GE1→FE→EE)

g tied in GE2
..

The tie of g was not marked by Chopin in any authentic source. If we take into account a similar phrase 4 bars further, one can assume Chopin's oversight. However, since bars 245 and 249 differ in the context in which the g is played, in the main text we leave the version of A.

b. 246-248

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

..

Three necessary accidentals are missing in A – flats lowering g1 to g1 in bar 246, c3 to c3 in bar 247 and c1 to c1 in bar 248. These patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE (→FE→EE).

 in A

No sign in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The missing  hairpin is most probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of GE1.

Tie to g in A & GE2

Slur in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The tie of g was misinterpreted in GE1 (→FE→EE) as combining the e1-g1 third in bar 246 with g in the following bar. GE2 restored the correct text.
