b. 312

No marking in EE

In A there are no flats lowering g3 to g3 and g1 to g1. This patent inaccuracy was corrected already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2).

b. 312-313

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

Slur c2-b1 in FE (→GE)

Tie to c2 in EE
..

Due to the strict analogy between these bars and bars 296-297 (encompassing the entire, several-bar-long fragment), the version of EE, preserving this strict analogy, may correspond to Chopin's intention. In this bar, the slur in bar 313 could have been placed on the wrong side of the c2 crotchet, which would happen in the Chopinesque first editions, cf. e.g. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 3rd mov., bars 172-173. However, in the main text we leave the version of FE (→GE), since both places differ in the orchestral part: in bars 296-297, the tied c2 crotchet is doubled in flute I, whereas in bars 312-313 – it is not.

b. 312-313

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

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

Substantially, the fingering written in FEH in bar 312 repeats the indications from bar 296. In turn, at the beginning of bar 313, there is another digit – '4,' whereas bar 297 indicates a '5.' In the main text, we include the 1st finger on a, marked again in FED.
