In A one can see a three-bar correction here: the text on the top stave, including the part of the R.H. and crotchets in the L.H. (two in each bar), was crossed out and rewritten on the staves above (R.H. part) and below (the crotchets in the L.H. together with the necessary changes of clefs). The reason for these changes was an imprecision following from the original layout of the text – formally, the octave sign over the part of the R.H. would also apply to the crotchets in the L.H. written below it, which, of course, was not intended by Chopin. The original crossed out notation does not include 8- - -, so Chopin noticed a possible inaccuracy only when proceeding to write an octave sign. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A |

In A, the staccato marks at the beginning of bars 410-411 and 418-419 (in the part of the R.H.) are clear wedges – cf. the dots in the part of the L.H. The editions reproduced them as dots (as in the entire Concerto); at the same time, EE overlooked the sign in bar 410, whereas FE – in bar 418 (added in EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , EE inaccuracies , Wedges |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III
..
A includes separate slurs in bars 411 and 412, probably due to the crossed out fragments in bar 411. The fact that Chopin did not intend to divide the slur in this place is supported by the slurs in all three repetitions of this fragment (bars 419-421, 451-453 and 459-461). The ending of the slur in bar 412 is also inaccurate, since it suggests leading the slur to bar 413, yet it does not go beyond the bar line. A comparison of analogous bars enables us to interpret this detail correctly. The versions of GE1 and FE (→EE) follow from an inaccurate reproduction of the base texts. In GE2, the final fragment separated with a slur, corresponding to the figures in the previous bars, is completely arbitrary. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III
..
In the main text we preserve the unambiguous notation of the rhythm of A. Moving a semiquaver outside the last quaver of the triplet in the bottom voice is an arbitrary action characteristic of GE (→FE→EE). The Breitkopf & Härtel publishing house would consistently apply a "mathematical" layout to such groups, denying the currency of the convention used by Chopin even in these places where the notation resulting from such a layout (as the discussed one) was absurd from the pianistic point of view, cf. the Nocturne in C category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Dotted rhythms and triplets , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |
