b. 311

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

 in A (→GE) & EE2 (→EE3)

 in FE (literal reading→EE1)

 (contextual interpretation of FE), our alternative suggestion
..

The placement of the dynamic marking in FE (→EE1) –  before the 2nd triplet in the bar – suggests a mistake. The Chopinesque proofreading entry could have been misinterpreted; it could have been  or even  if the original  was overlooked in the proof copy. In the first case, the composer's intention would be , which we include as an additional possibility. According to us, a possible change of the correctly printed  to  is highly unlikely.

b. 311-312

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

Slur to bar 312 in A & GE2

Slur in bar 311 in GE1 (→FE)

Slurs in both hands in EE
..

A shorter slur in GE1 (→FE→EE) must be an inaccuracy, typical in this composition. In EE a similar slur was added in the L.H. In GE2 the slur was extended after A. Similarly in bars 315-316.

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

Slur in FE

Slur in GE1 (→GE2)

Slurs in EE

Slurs in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

The missing slur in the first half of the bar is probably an oversight, either of the engraver of FE or Chopin, cf. analogous bar 295. However, the slur added in EE is almost certainly arbitrary, whereas the one in GE3 – modelled after the most probably inaccurate slur in the aforementioned bar 295. In the main text, we suggest adding a slur in the entire first half of the bar, just like in bar 295.
The second slur in the discussed bar, written too early, is an inaccuracy of GE.
