Verbal indications

b. 353

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

No indication in sources

[a tempo] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding an indication returning the regular course of music after a temporary halt. In this section of A, Chopin omitted a number of agogic markings, including all a tempo markings – cf. bars 313, 317 and 325.

..

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."

The  marking was placed in FE before the chord on the 3rd beat in bar 397. This kind of placement is not something unusual, yet, together with the small gaps between the notes, it could have misled the engraver or reviser of EE. Repetition of  in bar 389, also before the c2 minim, suggests that such a placement was considered to be more likely due to the absence of any accents on these minims, differently than in analogous bars 53-54 and 57-58, in which EE has a  and bars 401-402, which include accents.
