b. 197-198

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

No marking in FE (→GE1→GE2)

 in EE & GE3

[] suggested by the editors
..

The notation without  mark was probably present already in [A], since an analogous place in bars 441-442 is written in the same manner. Therefore, it is a particular case of omission of ​​​​​​​, used by Chopin at the end of a piece – after all, the solo part ends (temporarily) in bar 198. In this situation, it seems to be natural to hold the pedal to the end of bar 198 like it was indicated in EE and GE3, or a quaver longer, which may be suggested by the notation of the L.H. in bars 442-443. Since the cumulative notation of the solo part and of the piano reduction of the orchestral part causes the authentic notation – without  – to be misleading, in the main text we suggest to add that mark in a way to leave the exact moment of the pedal's release to the discretion of the performer.

Fingering written into FEH

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The fingering given by Fontana and the one written in FEH differ significantly. Interestingly, in analogous bar 441 Fontana gave a fingering concurrent with the fingering written in FEH and not his. That convergence is rather of an accidental nature, yet the differing approach to similar figures is symptomatic.

b. 197-198

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Two-bar  in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

One-and-half-bar  in GE2 (→GE3)
..

A shorter  hairpin seems to be simply a result of carelessness of the engraver of GE2 (→GE3). It is worth noting that a significant number of revisions was performed in that edition, cf. e.g. b. 203-204, yet in the discussed case there is no visible reason for such an intervention.
