b. 135

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

..

It is difficult to say what the c3 crotchet (grace note?), written in A over the d1-e1 second at the beginning of the bar, means. It is not corresponded by any note in Morch, it was not included in the editions either. In this situation, we regard this inexplicable, from the point of view of melody and harmony, note as a mistake.
Perhaps it was to be an e3, sustained from the previous bar, in which the e3 minim is provided with an additional curved line. However, the curved line is not combined with the discussed note, hence we do not include this possibility, doubly hypothetical, in our system.

The cautionary naturals before g2 and g1 were added in GE (→FE→EE). It could have been performed at Chopin's request.

The version of FE (→EE) is undoubtedly a Chopin improvement, introduced in the proofreading of FE1.

In A (→GE1→FE) there are no accidentals before the last two quavers. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in EE and GE2.

..

In A there is no  lowering c1 to c1. This patent oversight was corrected already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), perhaps by Chopin. Moreover, a cautionary  before c1 was added in the next bar.
