..
Same as in bars 177-189, in the main text we give indications – slurs and dots – introduced probably by Chopin in the proofreading of GE (→FE→EE). In A, in this fragment, written already very hastily, slurs are only in bar 353 (over the sixths) and 357 (a whole-bar slur). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

It is unclear how the two slurs in A are to be understood: their range is practically identical. Therefore, it seems that Chopin either wrote one of them by mistake or wanted to replace one of them with another. This is how it was interpreted in GE, reproducing only the top slur. We give this version in the main text, since all following similar figures have only one slur, mostly the top one. The absence of the slur in FE must be a mistake, corrected in EE, probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bars. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III
..
Bar 376 is the last one on the page in A, which provoked an uncertainty concerning the issue of slurring – the slur in this bar clearly points to continuation, yet in bar 377 a new slur begins. The easiest interpretation of this notation is the version of GE1; however, the version of FE and one slur of GE2 can be considered to be justified. In the main text we suggest the version of GE2, due to the analogy with bars 32-33. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

b. 376-377
|
composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III
..
In A, the quavers in bar 376, the last on this page, are encompassed with a slur, which clearly points to continuation, yet in bar 377 there is no ending of this slur. Chopin did not write any slurs in the L.H. until the end of this Solo, hence it seems that he renounced the slurring in the L.H. in this fragment, considering the slurs in the R.H. to be enough. Due to this reason, in the main text we omit the described fragment of the slur. It may be possible that the absence of continuation of the slurring is only a result of haste, particularly since in analogous bars 32-33 the slurs in A are written in the parts of both hands. Therefore, the slur of GE1, completed after the R.H., and the slurs of EE and GE2 can be considered to be compliant with Chopin's intention. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccurate slurs in A , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III
..
In the main text we leave the notation of A, without the slur in the L.H. The slur of GE (→FE→EE), perhaps added by Chopin in the proofreading of GE1 and compliant with the authentic slur in analogous bar 34, can also be considered to be compatible with Chopin's intention. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |
