b. 213-216

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

..

In the main text we add cautionary flats before e3 in bar 213 and a2 in bar 216 after analogous signs written by Chopin before d3 in bar 215 and b2 in bar 214.

Ties in A

Slurs in GE2
..

The ties of b in bar 214 and a in bar 216, very carefully written in A, were nonetheless reproduced in GE1 (→FE→EE) as d1-e1 and c1-d1 slurs. In GE2 the first of them was arbitrarily moved, so that it combines f1 and e1.

Different accents in GE2

The signs under the chords in the L.H. in bars 214 and 216 in A are typical long accents. In GE (→FE→EE) the first of them was reproduced as a short accent, whereas the second one as a . In GE2 the latter was shortened – most probably after A – so it can be considered a long accent.

F in A (→GE→FE→EE)

G suggested by the editors
..

At the beginning of the bar, we give G in the main text, present as the bass note in the orchestral part, Morch. It would be unthinkable that the F seventh placed in the bass would remain unresolved, moving on to C in the next bar, present in the double bass part. A possible reason for the erroneous presence of the F note in A is imagining only the solo piano part when writing A, in haste. In this case, the actual bass line (including pedalling) forms an A-G-F sequence:
.
The version with F may be considered an acceptable variant only when performing the piece without accompaniment.

d1 repeated in A (→GE→FE→EE1)

d1 tied in EE2 (→EE3)
..

The decision to sustain d1 in EE2 (→EE3) is an arbitrary addition of the revision of this edition.
