According to us, Chopin did not want these bars to differ from analogous bars 13-16, although there is no corresponding version in any of the sources. The first cause of such a state of affairs was a possible mistake committed by Chopin in A – an unnecessary extension of the line determining the range of the octave sign beyond the 2nd crotchet in bar 337. However, the correction of this error in FE (→EE1) – elimination of the entire octave sign – also removed the characteristic leap to the f3-f4 octave, which, due to its important role in the entire 3rd mov. of the Concerto, could not possibly be intended by Chopin. Therefore, the version of FE is most probably not entirely correct. The situation is even more obscure due to minor, obvious mistakes, e.g. no ending of the octave sign in bar 340 in A (assuming its correctness) and embracing the 1st crotchet in bar 337 in GE1 with the octave sign. In later editions, one of the previous versions was introduced arbitrarily, which does not influence the determination of the text in any way. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

The missing accent in GE1 (→FE→EE) is almost certainly a mistake – the engraver most probably interpreted this sign as a tie of f1. An accent (short) was added in GE2, yet the tie was not omitted. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

According to us, the most likely explanation of the presence of the tie of f1 in the editions is the engraver of GE1 having mistaken the accent for a tie (other possibility is moving the slur written in A over the top voice under the stave). Chopin did not use any of a few opportunities to extend a common note of chords in the entire Tutti (also in the exposition, bars 16-24). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE |

The missing slur over the top voice must be a mistake of GE1 (→FE→EE). However, it may not be a common oversight, but an atypical example of a transfer of sign: a slur was printed under the notes instead of over them, although of the same range, which gave it a form of a tie of f1 (the engraver could have been encouraged to perform such a change by, e.g. lack of space under the notes). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

The version of GE1 (→FE1) is almost certainly a Terzverschreibung error, which was confirmed by the Chopinesque proofreading of FE2 (→EE) restoring the version of A. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Terzverschreibung error , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , Errors repeated in FE |
