b. 219

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

 above staff in A

 between staves in GE (→FE)

No mark in EE
..

Moving the  sign under the stave and shifting it to the beginning of the bar must be arbitrary changes of GE (→FE). Both changes considered together impede the correct interpretation of this sign, which applies to the top notes of the figuration in the R.H., separated with additional crotchet stems. The absence of the sign in EE is probably a result of a revision – it was assumed that there is no need to double diminuendo signs. See also bar 220.

 above staff in A

No mark in FE (→EE)
..

Same as in the previous bar, the  sign was moved to between the staves and slightly shifted (this time to the right). The absence of the sign in FE (→EE) can be explained by an oversight; however, it cannot be excluded that Chopin removed the hairpin as a part of the proofreading of the part of the L.H. According to us, even if it were Chopin's proofreading, it did not concern the sign written in A, applying only to the part of the R.H.

Long accent in A (→GE1→FE)

No mark in GE1a

Short accent in EE & GE2
..

Change of the type of accent to short is one of many inaccuracies of this kind in EE and GE2.
In all copies of GE1a, the discussed sign was overlooked as a result of an inaccurately performed graphic proofreading of bars 235-236.

 to bar 238 in A

 in bar 237 in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The shortened  hairpin in the editions was certainly a result of inaccuracy of the engraver of GE1.

Staccato dot in A

No mark in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The missing staccato dot in GE (→FE→EE) is almost certainly a consequence of the oversight of the engraver of GE1.
