b. 415-416

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

3 long accents in A & FE

2  & > in GE1

3 short accents in EE & GE2
..

Three clearly long accents written in A were reproduced in GE1, without any apparent reason, in an explicitly varied manner. However, FE restored the notation of A, which could be seen as Chopin's proofreading. Both in EE and GE2 the Chopinesque long accents were reproduced as common short accents.

b. 416

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

..

In A (→GE) the crotchet of the bottom voice is written as a g2. Similarly, the bottom note of the 3rd quaver is a g1. While proofreading FE (→EE), Chopin changed the notation of both notes to a2(1), in accordance with the way in which he wrote all subsequent appearances of similar bars.

b. 416

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

g1 in chord in A (→GE)

e1 in chord in FE (→EE)
..

The version of A (→GE) is most probably the original review of this chord, left by inadvertence (haste). It is proved by the undoubtedly Chopinesque proofreading of FE (→EE) and by the corrections visible in A in the repetition of this bar (bar 456).

b. 416-417

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

Slur to g2 in A (literal reading→GE→FE→EE)

Slur to f2 in A, contextual interpretation
..

The slur of A does not go beyond bar 416; however, its shape does not exclude an interpretation in which the last note of the phrase is also encompassed with it. We adopt this interpretation to the main text due to the significant statistical predominance of pianistically natural slurs reaching the notes on which the triplet movement stops for a moment – see bars 409-419.

b. 417

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

In the main text we add a cautionary  before a1.
