Rhythm

b. 330-331

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

b-d1 repeated in A (→GE)

b-d1 tied in FE (→EE)
..

The tie of the b-d1 third is probably a Chopinesque correction, introduced in the proofreading of FE (→EE).

b. 331

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

Minims in A & FE

Dotted minims in GE & EE
..

The missing dots extending the b-d1 third in FE may mean that they could have been added in the last phase of proofreading of GE1. The authenticity of this addition is questionable (same as of a similar change in EE).

b. 340-341

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

f1 repeated in A

f1 tied in GE (→FE→EE)
..

According to us, the most likely explanation of the presence of the tie of f1 in the editions is the engraver of GE1 having mistaken the accent for a tie (other possibility is moving the slur written in A over the top voice under the stave). Chopin did not use any of a few opportunities to extend a common note of chords in the entire Tutti (also in the exposition, bars 16-24).

b. 344

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

Dotted rhythm in A

Quavers in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The dotted rhythm in A is the original version (cf. analogous bar 20), left here by Chopin, perhaps unintentionally. Therefore, the quavers in GE (→FE→EE) may be a result of Chopin's proofreading, although the absence of visible traces of performing changes in print allows us to consider a possible mistake of the engraver.
