b. 1

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

simplice ma graziosamente in A (→GE)

simplice ma grazioso in FE

simplice ma grazioso in EE

..

The use of the adverb suffix -mente was characteristic for pieces of young Chopin. In the main text, we include the proofreading – probably by Chopin – in FE (→EE). In EE, in addition, the older, obsolete form simplice was replaced with its contemporary counterpart semplice.

In A the  raising e2 to eis absent. It is difficult to explain this oversight other than by haste. The mistake was corrected already in GE1 (→FEEE,→GE2). In analogous bar 325 a correct sign is present in all sources.

b. 1

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

Slur from 1st note of bar in A & GE2

Slur from quavers in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

The later start of the slur could have been introduced by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1 (→FEEE) – cf. other motifs of this theme with identical rhythm, e.g. in bars 3 and 25. However, in the main text we start the slur from the 1st note of the bar, in accordance with A, since the authenticity of the version of GE1 is uncertain.

Pedalling in bars 4, 12 & 28 suggested by the editors

..

The missing pedalling in bars 4 and 28 seems to be an inaccuracy of notation. In the first two bars, Chopin characteristically diversifies the performance – with or without pedal – depending on whether the crotchets creating a spread chord can be held with hand or not. It is possible that he considered the use of the same pedalling two bars further to be obvious (cf. the adjacent note). In the recapitulation (bars 325-336), respective bars appear twice (bars 328 and 336), both times with pedalling. The  sign is also in bar 12, which confirms that performing those bars without pedal was not Chopin's intention. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding both the  sign in bar 12 and both signs in bars 4 and 28.

b. 4-28

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

No slurs in A

Slurs in bars 12 & 28 in GE1 (→FE)

3 slurs in EE

3 slurs in GE2

..

In bars 4, 12 and 28 there are no slurs in the part of the L.H. in A. These are the same bars in which pedalling signs are missing. While writing the fourth, last bar of the accompaniment based on alternating use of two schemes, Chopin could have already been thinking about the next bar, structured differently. In GE1 (→FE) slurs were added in bars 12 and 28, in both cases repeating a slur used two bars earlier (in particular in bar 12 the erroneous slur from bar 10 was repeated). According to us, it indicates an action of the reviser. In EE and GE2 a slur was added also in bar 4, whereas in GE2 the slur in bar 12 was corrected. We give the last version in the main text, since the absence of slurs in the discussed bars must be an inaccuracy of notation.
