b. 397-398

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

Accents in A & GE2

No marks in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The missing accents over the c2 minims is certainly a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2.

 in bar 397 in A (→GE→FE)

 in both bars in EE
..

The  marking was placed in FE before the chord on the 3rd beat in bar 397. This kind of placement is not something unusual, yet, together with the small gaps between the notes, it could have misled the engraver or reviser of EE. Repetition of  in bar 389, also before the c2 minim, suggests that such a placement was considered to be more likely due to the absence of any accents on these minims, differently than in analogous bars 53-54 and 57-58, in which EE has a  and bars 401-402, which include accents.

b. 398

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

f2 in chord in A & GE2

No f2 in chord in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The missing f2 is certainly an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE), corrected in GE2.

No c2 in chord in A (→GE)

c2 in chord in FE (→EE)

An additional c2 in the chord must be a mistake, since the note does not result from the link to the previous chord; it unnecessarily precedes the next, accented minim. We are most probably dealing with an unfinished proofreading of a major mistake – the traces of removing c3 visible in this place in FE may indicate that it was the 1st chord from the previous bar, c2-f2-c3, that was printed here in the first place. While proofreading this mistake, both missing notes were added (f1-a1), but it was only c3, going beyond the target chord, hence easier to remove, that was deleted.
