b. 300-304

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

Wedges & dots in A

Dots in GE1 (→FE)

Dots in both hands in EE & GE2

Wedges suggested by the editors
..

The double articulation markings for the first crotchets in bars 300, 302 and 304 present in A are probably an element of an earlier concept – cf. bar 294. Due to this reason, it is only the wedges that we include in the main text. The dots in the L.H. are also absent in GE1 (→FE), although it does not seem to be a result of the proofreading. Replacing wedges with dots in GE (→FE→EE) stems from the business-as-usual approach of the engraver of GE1, and perhaps also haste.

b. 303

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

No sign in A (→GE→FE)

 in EE

The  hairpin must be an arbitrary addition of the reviser of EE who tried to unify the notation of all identical bars in this fragment.

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

 in A & GE2

No sign in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The missing  hairpin in GE1 (→FE→EE) is most probably a result of the engraver's oversight. The sign was restored in GE2.

b. 326

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

Short accent to R.H. in A (→GE)

Short accent to L.H. in FE

Vertical accent to L.H. in EE

Long accent to R.H. suggested by the editors
..

The type of the accent used by Chopin at the beginning of this bar is unclear. The shape of the sign suggests a short accent, and this is how it was reproduced in GE. However, in all similar bars – bars 4, 10, 26, 28, 328, 334 and 336 – the accent in the R.H. is a long accent. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest a long accent. The versions of FE and EE are inauthentic: the first is inaccurate, whereas the second – clearly erroneous.

b. 326-328

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

Staccato dots in A & GE2

No marks in GE1 (→FE)

Dot in bar 328 in EE
..

Omission of the staccato dots under c in bars 326 and 328 must be a mistake of GE1 (→FE). The sign in bar 328 was added in EE most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 336. In GE2 the dots were added in accordance with A.
