b. 7

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

3 fingering digits in A (→GE) & EE2 (→EE3)

1 digit in FE (→EE1)
..

The first two fingering digits missing in this bar is certainly an oversight of FE (→EE1). The digits were added in EE2 (→EE3).

Sixth in A & GE2

f2 in GE1

a1-f2 in FE (→EE)
..

The a1-f2 grace note is written inaccurately in A – the fragment of the stem combining both notes of the sixth is missing. It most probably contributed to the omission of the bottom note, a1, in GE1. The mistake was corrected by Chopin in FE (→EE) analogously to bar 27, a solution we adopt in the main text. The version of A can be considered an equal variant, since, although being earlier, it was never directly replaced by Chopin.

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering
..

The same fingering is written in FED twice, in bars 81 and 83. The digits written by Chopin were probably overwritten by the pupil, so that they were more visible.

[] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text we suggest  written by Chopin in analogous bar 340. It is highly likely that omission of this indication in the discussed bar was not intended by the composer, but resulted from distraction at the transition to a new page of the manuscript.
