b. 326

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

..

In FE, the 8th and 10th semiquavers in the R.H. are a b2. The harmonic and pianistic context point to patent mistakes, which were corrected in EE and GE3. In turn, in GE1 (→GE2), the 8th semiquaver was changed to a2, yet a  before the 10th note was not added. The absence of corrections in the pupils' copies proves that the pupils most probably performed the correct text, perhaps without checking thoroughly the notation.

b. 326

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

..

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before f3 and naturals before a3 and b1 at the end of the bar. The first two marks were added already in GE and EE. On the other hand, we omit the cautionary  before g3, present in the sources.

b. 326-327

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

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fingering written into FEH

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The fingering written in FEH and Fontana's fingering in EE applying to the same notes is generally compliant. However, the differences, appearing from the 5th semiquaver in bar 326, suggest that in the further part of the figuration, at least until the middle of bar 327, the fingering rule was different in each of the sources. In FEH, the last digits are 4141, so one can assume that the pairs of 41 fingers are to be applied also in the further part (most probably with a change to 51 in bigger intervals). In turn, Fontana suggests using the 2nd finger also on f2 and g2, which actually results in the 5th finger for the b1 notes already from the 10th semiquaver in bar 326. The authenticity of the fingerings has not been confirmed.

b. 326

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE (→EE), there are no naturals raising the A1-A octave to A1-A in the L.H. and the 3rd a​​​​​​​ semiquaver to a in the R.H. The mistake, patent in this context (cf. analogous bar 328), was corrected in GE and EE2 (→EE3).
