b. 117

Slur from 2nd beat in A & GE2

Slur from first beat in GE (→FEEE)

..

Starting the slur from the beginning of the bar in GE1 (→FEEE) is almost certainly an inaccuracy, characteristic for the engraver of this edition. GE2 restored the text compliant with the Chopin notation.

Staccato dot in A & GE2

No mark in GE1 (→FEEE)

We consider the oversight of the staccato dot in GE1 (→FEEE) to be the engraver's mistake.

b. 118

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

No mark in A

Staccato dot in GE (→FEEE)

..

According to us, the staccato dot added in GE (→FEEE) is either a revision or, which seems to be more likely, a mistake of the engraver.

No L.H. slurs in A

Slur in bars 125-126 in GE1 (→FE)

2 slurs in bars 125-128 in EE

Slur in bars 125-129 in GE2

According to us, the slur in the L.H. in bars 125-126, present in GE1 (→FEEE), could have been added by Chopin. It is indicated by corrections of the slurs in the R.H. – if it were Chopin who ordered to combine the slurs in the R.H. at the transition between those bars, he could have also added a slur in the L.H., as if to emphasise that the one-bar slurs from bars 121-124 are no more valid here. EE added also a slur in bars 127-128 (after the slur the edition has in the R.H.). The slurring of both hands was homogenised also in GE2. In the main text we preserve the notation of A, since the slurs of EE and GE2 are certainly arbitrary, whereas the slur added in GE1, even if it comes from Chopin, is probably to be related to the corrections of the erroneous slurs in the R.H.

b. 126-127

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

1 slur in A & GE2

2 slurs in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

Breaking the slur between these bars is a characteristic inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1 (after all, the two-bar slur in bars 125-126 is already a result of proofreading – the remaining elements of original slurs show that each of these bars was most probably embraced with a separate slur). The continuous, four-bar slur written in A was restored in GE2. See also bars 128-129.
