b. 237-239

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

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering entered in FEH in bar 237 and repeated in bar 239 bears a strong resemblance to Chopin's handwriting and is compliant with the Chopinesque fingering of similar figurations in the Etude in C Minor, Op. 10 No. 4, bar 2 and analog. or the Nocturne in D​​​​​​​ Major, Op. 27 No. 2, bar 52. Taking into account the above, we give it in the main text.

b. 237-239

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

..

In bars 237 and 239, we add cautionary sharps before f​​​​​​​2 in the main text. The accidentals were added already in EE and GE3.

b. 237

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

Slurs in FE (→EE)

Slurs in GE

Our alternative suggestion
..

According to us, leaving the 1st triplet without slur is a clear inaccuracy of notation, probably committed by the engraver of FE, although inaccurate slurs of [A] are also likely. The slurs can be corrected by prolonging the slur in bar 236 or by starting earlier the one from bar 237. In the main text, we give the former due to its statistical advantage in similar places – 2 appearances (bars 232-233 and 238-239) to one (bars 234-235). The solution analogous to bars 234-235 may be considered an alternative interpretation of the slurs of FE (→EE).

b. 237

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

..

In FE (→GE), there is no  restoring g2 on the 8th semiquaver. The patent mistake was corrected in EE. In addition, none of the sources includes the  restoring b2 on the 15th semiquaver.
