b. 405

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

e1 in FE (→GE,EE)

c1-e1 suggested by the editors
..

The missing c1 note on the 3rd quaver may be a result of the engraver's oversight – cf. the adjacent bars. In such situations, it may be very difficult to state whether a note on a ledger line is featured in a dyad or in a chord in Chopin's autographs – cf. e.g. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 3rd mov., bar 485. ​​​​​​​Due to this reason, in the main text, we suggest adding this note.

b. 405-407

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

..

In bar 405 and 407, there are no naturals lowering f to f in FE. These patent inaccuracies were corrected both in GE and EE.

b. 405

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

..

In the 1st triplet, we add cautionary sharps before d3 and c​​​​​​​3 in the main text. The former was added already in GE and EE2 (→EE3); the latter – only in GE3. Moreover, we add a cautionary  before e3 in the 3rd triplet.

b. 405

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

d3 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

d​​​​​​​3 in GE3
..

The sharp added in GE3 is probably a mistake – it was supposed to be a cautionary  before d​​​​​​​3 in the 1st triplet of the next bar.

b. 406

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

Error in GC in b. 64 - in this manuscript b. 406 is marked in an abbreviated form as repeat of the bar - resulted in GE errors:

  • new slur in RH begins as late as b. 407, which is discussed in a separate annotation;
  • in GE1 on the 3. best of the bar erroneously there is a rest.
