D-E in EE

..

In EE the first two quavers - D-E - judging by the identical notation of the other sources are erroneously written. It needs to be said as well that there is an error in the notation of the second quaver of the bar in GC that may mislead a reader as it is E written out with a ledger line.

Beginning of the slur in EE

Contextual interpretation of GC (→GE)

FE
..

The slur in EE erroneously begins only in b. 624. We may suspect that the omission of the slur's beginning until the end of the line mast have occured already in the manuscript for the edition. Also the GC slur may well be inaccurate, so we assume based on GE that the slur is too long and should apply to where the RH comes in. For the main text we adopt the FE slur which seems to be musically most natural.

b. 643

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In the majority of the sources, the bar is written with an octave sign, which was overlooked in EE1. The mistake was corrected in EE2 (→EE3).
