b. 413-414

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

Slur in FE

Slur in GE1 (→GE2)

Slurs in EE

Dots & slur in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors

The missing first slur in FE (→GE1→GE2) must be an oversight, corrected in EE. The inaccurate slur of GE1 (→GE2) was replaced in GE3 with arbitrary indications, i.e. staccato dots and a slur, adopted in this edition in all similar places.

b. 413

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

 in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The missing  in GE is most probably an oversight, although it is possible that the hairpin was omitted due to lack of space or an alleged conflict with the ​​​​​​​ mark between the staves.

b. 413

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

d3 w FE (→GE,EE)

d3 suggested by the editors
..

The missing accidental before the 2nd semiquaver is probably an oversight (of the engraver or of Chopin himself). It is indicated by the situation in bar 414 in which the necessary  before d​​​​​​​3 – unquestionable in that case – is also missing.

The accents written in A in b. 413, 415 and analog. mean almost certainly the same despite differences, generally minor ones, in length and shape. The majority of the marks is rather short; however, four (b. 417, 425, 433 and 435) are definitely long, which makes us provide the main text with long accents only. At the same time, we add the accents Chopin overlooked in b. 419 and 431. We consider the version of GE2 (→GE3) with a complete set of short accents to be an alternative solution.
The mark in b. 435 was overlooked in FE (→EE), whereas the mark in b. 419 was added in EE.

b. 414-415

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No signs in EE

 & accent in GC & FE

  in GE
..

No marks in EE may come from the earlier version or be an omission. A mark in GC, rightly interpreted in b. 73 in GE as a long accent, here (b. 415) was extended to almost whole bar hairpins.
