b. 248

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

Rhythm without rest in A (→GE)

Rhythm with rest in FE (→EE)
..

Shorter rhythmic values certainly stem from Chopin's proofreading in FE (→EE). The aim was most probably to differentiate the performance of bars 248 and 252 in a more distinct manner due to the harmonically different continuation in bars 249 and 253.

b. 250-252

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

..

Three necessary accidentals are missing in A – flats lowering g1 to g1 in bar 250, c3 to c3 in bar 251 and c4 to c4 in bar 252. The first of them was added in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2), whereas the third – in EE and GE2. The flat in bar 251 is not featured in any of the sources.

b. 250-251

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

g tied in A & GE2

g repeated in GE1 (→FE→EE)
..

The missing tie of g must be a mistake of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE).

b. 251-252

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

1 slur in A & GE2

2 slurs in GE1 (literal reading→FE→EE)
..

The slur in GE1 is written ambiguously – the slur at the end of the line of the text (bar 251) suggests continuation, yet in bar 252 the slur runs from the 1st note. The notation of FE (→EE) proves that, without seeing A, the notation of GE1 was interpreted as two separate slurs.

b. 252

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

e1-a1 in A (→GE)

c1-a1 in FE (→EE)
..

The c1-a1 sixth is most probably a mistake of the engraver of FE (→EE). It is difficult to assume that Chopin would like to replace the sequence of three voices of the accompaniment, compliant with all rules, with a parallel shift of chords, sounding worse.
