The omission of the last accent in bar 280 in GE1 must be a mistake. The accent was added in FE, yet it was placed inaccurately, as a result of which it is uncertain whether it applies to the 2nd or the 1st quaver of the triplet (the 1st accent in bar 278 in FE is even more inaccurate; we interpret it to apply to the 1st quaver in the bar). In EE, three out of four accents were put a quaver earlier, on the 1st or 7th note in the bar, which is a mistake.

Short accent to R.H. in A (→GE)

Short accent to L.H. in FE

Vertical accent to L.H. in EE

Long accent to R.H. suggested by the editors

The type of the accent used by Chopin at the beginning of this bar is unclear. The shape of the sign suggests a short accent, and this is how it was reproduced in GE. However, in all similar bars – bars 4, 10, 26, 28, 328, 334 and 336 – the accent in the R.H. is a long accent. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest a long accent. The versions of FE and EE are inauthentic: the first is inaccurate, whereas the second – clearly erroneous.

b. 370-376

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

..

In FE the  signs are written very carelessly in these bars – the sign in bar 370 points to the 3rd beat of the bar; the remaining ones (except for bar 373, in which FE does not have a ) fall between the 1st and 2nd beats of the bar (the last three are closer to the 1st beat). Since there are no doubts that the shifts are of a random nature, we reproduce them only in the version "transcription."

Slurs in A (literal interpretation→GE1)

Slurs in A (possible interpretation) & FE (→EE)

Slur in A (contextual interpretation) & GE2

..

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.
