b. 340

Only f in solo part in A & GE2

Octave in solo part in GE1 (→FEEE)

Only f in solo part suggested by the editors

..

The inclusion of the bottom note of the octave (F) to the solo part is certainly a result of a mistake of the engraver of GE1 (→FEEE) who printed it in a font of a normal size. Chopin also contributed to the mistake, using a simplified, one-voice notation of this octave (differently than in bar 16). Cf. bars 30-32

b. 352

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

Accent above staff in A 

Accent under staff in GE (→FEEE)

..

Chopin's intention concerning the placement of the accent is uncertain. The change of its position in GE (→FEEE) is almost certainly of a random nature, since in the version of A (→GE), in which there is a sole aat the beginning of the bar, it does not influence the meaning of this sign. After adding the d2 note in FE (→EE), the position of the accent may suggest accenting the bottom or top note of the d2-afifth. In the main text we give an accent in the place where Chopin saw it while proofreading FE.

Long accent in A

Short accent in GE & EE

No mark in FE

..

Shortened accents are a very frequent inaccuracy of GE, whereas the omission of the sign in FE is a patent mistake, revised then in EE.

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FEEE)

..

The clearly long accents in A in bars 356, 358 and 362 were inaccurately reproduced in GE (→FEEE) as short. Cf. bar 360.
