In A the sostenuto indication is written below Adagio and in slightly smaller font. Therefore, it seems that the engraver of GE was right when he decided not to combine the terms in one indication. On the other hand, the correction visible in A – instead of Adagio Chopin initially wrote Lento – shows that the final version of the indication was being developed gradually and that both its parts could have been written at a different time, which would explain the observed inconsistency in notation. Therefore, the FE version (→EE), which could have been added in this form by Chopin to [FC] or even while proofreading FE, can be considered an equal variant. We leave it to the discretion of the performers to decide what impact, if any, it has in practice. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |

In A (→GE) there are no accidentals in the last group of semiquavers. In the proofreading of FE (→EE) two flats were added, probably indicated by Chopin, a cautionary before A category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , Errors in GE , Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , Inaccuracies in A |

In A bar 321 is the last one on the page, which became the cause of the ambiguous notation of the slurs in the R.H. – the slur in bar 322 (on a new page) suggests a continuation from the previous bar, which is not confirmed by the ending of the slur in bar 321. In the main text we assume that Chopin's intention was a two-bar slur, yet the version of the editions, with two one-bar slurs, can also be considered a justified interpretation of A. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Inaccurate slurs in A |

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
The slur of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) must be inaccurate, perhaps as a result of an erroneous interpretation of [A] – Chopin, while writing a slur over the accents of the top voice, obvious to him, could have not noticed that the 1st quaver of the bar, placed much lower, turned up under the slur. In GE3, the slur was omitted, perhaps taking into account its inadequacy to the natural phrasing resulting from the texture. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |

..
In the main text, we give the unquestionable, as far as the sources and music are concerned, version of FE. The octave in GE and EE may be either a mistake or a revision; at the same time, in each of these editions, the reason could have been different. In each case, the fact that the revisers did not take into account the analogy with the two previous bars is puzzling. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in EE , Errors in GE |
