b. 190

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

e2 in FE (→EE) & GE3

e2 in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The version of GE1 (→GE2) – certainly erroneous, cf. bars 186, 541 and 545 as well as 182 and 537 – probably came into being as a result of an overzealous action of the reviser who added here cautionary naturals before the g2 grace notes. The mistake was corrected in GE3.

b. 190

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

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED
..

Fontana's fingering is almost certainly identical with the indication in FED, stemming from a lesson with Chopin. In that copy, apart from the evident digit '2,' written twice in a way typical of FED, first by Chopin, then by Madame Dubois, there is a visible delicate line next to the a1 quaver. The mark could be interpreted as a digit '1,' yet it is uncertain, hence in the main text, we give only the '2' described above.

b. 190

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

..

In FE, there is no accidental before the penultimate semiquaver. In this situation, the absence of a  is a patent mistake, corrected both in GE and EE.

b. 190

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the short accent in FE (→GE,EE) is an inaccuracy of the engraver (cf. bar 188).

b. 190

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No marking in FE

at end of bar in GE & EE

[] suggested by the editors
..

Like in b. 46, of which the discussed bar is a literal repetition, we add a  mark before the 3rd beat of the bar. The mark was also added, yet at the end of the bar, in GE and EE.
