There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the accents added in the proofreading of FE (→EE) on c in bar 486 and on C in bar 487. In turn, it is not clear what kind of accents Chopin had in mind, since it is difficult to assume that he would have liked to differentiate between them. According to us, it is long accents that are more likely, since a shift of the shorter sign (in bar 486) may indicate that the accent written by Chopin was longer than the one printed in FE. However, it is only a suspicion, hence both the long accents suggested in the main text and the short accents in EE may be considered equal variants. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE inaccuracies , Authentic corrections of FE |

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III
..
The accent in A at the beginning of the bar, considered in the context of this bar, is long, yet compared with the marks in the two previous bars, it may also be interpreted as a short one. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents |

Out of eight long accents written in A, GE1 reproduced in this form only the mark in bar 497, which is naturally an accidental inaccuracy. The mark in this bar is slightly longer also in FE (→EE); however, the difference is so small that it is difficult to consider it meaningful. In GE2 all accents were unified. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions |

The missing staccato dots over the 4th and 7th quavers in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an oversight. The signs were added in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In FE, the staccato dot over a2 was placed by mistake only over the 5th quaver. Other mistakes of FE in the final passage – see bars 506-510 and 508-509. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE |
