b. 169-170

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

2 slurs in A

1 slur in GE (→FE)

Slur over triplet in EE

..

In the main text we reproduce precisely the notation of A, since it seems to be unlikely that Chopin would like to combine these slurs in one – see bars 171-172. The version of GE (→FE) can be considered to be an acceptable interpretation of the notation of A. The version of EE, unified with the notation of analogous bars 172 and 174, adopted from FE, must be – in the light of the notation of A – considered erroneous.

b. 169-170

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

Slur in A

Slur in GE1 (→FE)

Slur in EE

Slur in GE2

2 slurs suggested by the editors

..

The absence of the slur over (under) the triplet in bar 170 is certainly Chopin's oversight, who overlooked the entire marking of the triplet – digit and slur. In the main text we add both. In GE1 (→FE) the two-note slur of A was replaced with a longer one, embracing the entire motif. It seems to be likely that it is Chopin's proofreading, although one can have doubts whether a possible entry of the composer in the proof copy was reproduced correctly: Chopin could have been thinking of a shorter slur, like in GE2. The version of EE is certainly arbitrary. We give a more detailed analysis of the slurs of both hands in these and analogous bars in bars 171-172

Fingering written into FED

The double use of the 1st finger (cf. bar 171) was written in FED probably by Chopin.
