b. 369-375

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

Long accent on 3rd beat in A (→GE→FE)

Short accents on 2nd beat in EE
..

In EE the notation of the accents in all of these bars was unified in such a way that the  and the accent (short) constitute one marking under the f3-f4 octave. Since in FE an accent is present only in bar 369 (a long one on the 3rd beat), it required moving this sign and adding 6 further accents – it was certainly analogous bars 29-32 that were taken as the model in this case. Due to the differences in the remaining sources, we discuss bars 370-371, 372 and 373 separately.

b. 370-371

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

2 long accents in A

Short accent in GE1

No marks in FE

Short accents next to  in EE

Long accent in GE2
..

According to us, all omitted and shortened accents in GE and FE are random inaccuracies. Moving the accents closer to  is a completely arbitrary revision of EE, unifying all these bars with the notation of analogous bars 29-32 (also erroneous) – see bars 369-375.

..

In FE the  signs are written very carelessly in these bars – the sign in bar 370 points to the 3rd beat of the bar; the remaining ones (except for bar 373, in which FE does not have a ) fall between the 1st and 2nd beats of the bar (the last three are closer to the 1st beat). Since there are no doubts that the shifts are of a random nature, we reproduce them only in the version "transcription."

b. 372

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

No mark in A (→GE→FE)

Short accent next to  in EE

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the course of the music suggests a possible change of the performance manner of these motifs only from the next bar. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding an accent in the discussed place.
In this place, EE, same as in all similar bars of this section, features a short accent attached to the  under the octave – see bars 269-275.

GE1 (→FE) overlooked , which is a patent mistake. The sign was added in GE2, whereas in EE –  and an accent (see bars 369-375), same as in the adjacent bars.
