Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : EE revisions

b. 381-385

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

No slur in A (→GE1→FE)

Slur to bar 384 in EE

Slur to bar 385 in GE2
..

The slurs in the L.H., added in EE and GE2 and being a repetition of a respective slur in the R.H., were certainly performed by the revisers. However, their compliance with Chopin's intention is not entirely excluded – see bars 376-377 and 384-385 as well as 385-387 and 387-388.

No slur in A (→GE1→FE)

Slur in EE

Slur in GE2
..

The slur of the L.H., being a repetition of a respective slur in the R.H., is certainly an addition of the revision of EE and GE2. In the case of GE2, in which the slur in the R.H. has the same range as in A, the compliance of this addition with Chopin's intention is not entirely excluded – see bars 376-377.

b. 387-388

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

No markings in A (→GE1→FE)

2 slurs & 4 dots in EE

Slur & 9 dots in GE2
..

The articulation markings – slurs and dots – added in EE and GE2 are inauthentic. Each of these editions repeated the markings used in the R.H. in the part of the L.H. (in EE it was performed inaccurately, since the dots in bar 387 were overlooked). In the case of GE2, compliance of this addition with Chopin's intention cannot be entirely excluded – see bars 376-377.

b. 390

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

Chord with c2 in A (→GE) & EE

Chord with a1 in FE
..

The version of FE with a tenth chord is certainly erroneous. The mistake was corrected in EE, most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bar 46.

b. 397-398

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

 in bar 397 in A (→GE→FE)

 in both bars in EE
..

The  marking was placed in FE before the chord on the 3rd beat in bar 397. This kind of placement is not something unusual, yet, together with the small gaps between the notes, it could have misled the engraver or reviser of EE. Repetition of  in bar 389, also before the c2 minim, suggests that such a placement was considered to be more likely due to the absence of any accents on these minims, differently than in analogous bars 53-54 and 57-58, in which EE has a  and bars 401-402, which include accents.
