b. 273-277

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

Slurs from f​​​​​​​2 in FE (→GE,EE)

Slurs from g​​​​​​​2 – our alternative suggestion
..

The slurs in the 1st halves of bars 273 and 277 may be considered inaccurate – see the note to bar 30. However, we preserve the source slurs in the main text, since when the main theme of this movement returns, they consistently appear in all three appearances of this motif (the discussed bars and bar 281).

b. 273-274

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No sign in A (→FE→EE)

in FC (→GE)
..

In the main text we give the  hairpin entered by Chopin into FC (→GE). There is a similar situation in all analogous bars, i.e. b. 294-295, 375-376 & 396-397.

b. 273-274

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

E & g tied in A, GE2 (→GE3) & FESf

E repeated in FC (→GE1)

g repeated in FE (→EE)
..

The omitted ties in FE (→EE) and FC (→GE1) must be mistakes. The tie of E was added in GE2 (→GE3), most probably on the basis of comparison with the analogous places. A tie next to g was added only just in FESf.

b. 273

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

d in A (→FC,FE→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)

e in GE1
..

The version of GE1 must be erroneous in this place; Chopin crossed out the E-e octave in A here and replaced it with the E-d seventh. GE2 (→GE3) restored the version of FC.

b. 273-274

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

2 long accents in FE & GE2 (→GE3)

Long & short accents in GE1

No accents in EE

Short accents suggested by the editors
..

The difference in the length of the accents, visible in FE between the accent in b. 273 & the 2nd accent in b. 274 and the remaining accents in b. 274-276, does not necessarily mean that they should be diversified. It may be a result of a different origin of these two accents, which were probably added only just in the last stage of proofreading of FE (it is supported by their absence in EE). The latter was inaccurately reproduced in GE1, which was then corrected in GE2 (→GE3).
