b. 283-286

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

No L.H. slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slurs in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

In such a quasi-parallel figuration, the slurs in the R.H. generally apply also to the L.H., particularly when both parts are written, partially or completely, on one stave. Therefore, the source notation without separate slurs for the L.H. may be considered to be complete. However, at the repetition of this fragment (bars 299-302), Chopin provided with slurs also the L.H., which, according to us, indicates rather the need to specify the notation than to differentiate between the markings of both four-bar fragments. Due to this reason, in the main text we suggest adding slurs of the L.H. Slurs were introduced already in GE3.

b. 283-284

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

No markings in FE (→GE)

 in bar 284 in EE

Pedalling suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we add pedalling markings on the basis of comparison with analogous bars 299-300. In bar 284, the addition was performed already in EE.

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering, written probably by the hand of the pupil in FEH, was changed in this bar – the a-g transition was initially marked with the 2 and 3 digits. The correction could have been suggested by Chopin, which is indicated by further compliance with the entry in FED. In the main text, we include the indication of the latter, whose authenticity is unquestionable and which specifies the unobvious use of the 1st finger on a black key, crucial for a comfortable grip of the chord in the next bar.

b. 283-284

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

Slur to b2 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur to b3 in GE3
..

The slur of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) is almost certainly too long – the engraver must have confused the b3 quaver in bar 283 with the b2 quaver in bar 284, which is placed at the same height. Therefore, we acknowledge the correction introduced in GE3 in the main text.

b. 283

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

Sixth in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Fourth in GE3
..

It is difficult to determine what the motivation of the reviser of GE3 was when he was changing the 2nd quaver of the bar, since it is the 4th quaver that differs from the respective dyads in the analogous bars.
