b. 57-58

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

Accents in A

No accents in GE1 (→FEEE)

Rests & accents in GE2

..

The accents, this time placed in A over the cminims, were most probably overlooked in GE1 (→FEEE) (however, it cannot be excluded that the engraver omitted them while he was uncertain what they meant – e.g. if he was expecting rests in this place, he could have considered them quaver rests, which did not fit in with the remaining elements of the notation). GE2 precisely repeated the notation of bars 53-54 (see also the note on articulation in bars 57-59).

b. 57

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

The notation of the last chord in the R.H. in A is surprising – over three g1-e2-gnotes there is also a fourth one, more or less at the pitch of c3 or d3, but devoid of ledger lines, so it is unknown what note it should represent. At the same time, it is not one of the blots copied from the adjacent page, of which there are several in the next bars. According to us, it is a mistakenly boldened random ink spill or a staccato dot. The latter seems to be supported by the presence of such a dot in GE1; however, the dot in GE1 may be explained by another kind of mistake – see the adjacent note

b. 59

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

..

In A, there is a visible correction of the middle note of the 2nd crotchet in the R.H. from f2 to e2. The correction was certainly introduced after ½had been completed, which is clearly indicated by different ink and the manner of writing, emphasising the fact of a correction. An identical change, in the same way, was introduced in analogous bar 403, which proves that the version with fwas not an accidental mistake. In the orchestral part written in Morch, there are e2 (flute and clarinet) and e1 (2nd violin, viola and French horn), without any changes. In this situation, it seems to be likely that Chopin wrote the abandoned version of this chord in haste, once changed in [PI], but not in [SI], which he probably used while writing A (cf. the characterization of A).

In the main text we add a cautionary  before e2. An addition was introduced also in GE2.

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

Small-print f1 in A (→GE)

Normal-print octave in FE (→EE)

Small-print octave suggested by the editors

..

Replacing the single fnote with an f-foctave in FE (→EE) is certainly a change introduced by Chopin – cf. 1st mov., bar 348. However, the same cannot be said of printing this octave with notes of a normal size, in both bars. There had to be a misunderstanding at the time of implementing the proofreading, since adding this octave to the solo part is unimaginable, as far as the logic of the dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra is concerned.
