In EE there is cautionary  before a1. This may have been an editorial revision.

Long accent in A, possible interpretation

 w A (probable interpretation→GE)

No sign in FE (→EE)
..

The mark placed at the beginning of this bar in A may be interpreted as a long accent, after bar 429, or as a , like in bars 477 and 479, similar in terms of structure. In the main text we include the latter option, in accordance with the way in which the sign was reproduced in GE. The absence of the sign in the remaining editions is most probably a result of an oversight.

b. 431

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

..

In FE, there are no accidentals on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar, which is a patent inaccuracy. In the remaining editions, a part of the necessary sharps was added; however, none of the editions employed a consistent rule of validity of accidentals for notes appearing in various octaves. In GE1 (→GE2), sharps were added before the 5th, 9th, 10th and 12th semiquavers, which was further developed in GE3 – the accidentals before the 5th and 9th semiquavers were removed and added before the 6th and 8th ones. In EE, 5 sharps were added, omitting only the one before the 6th semiquaver.

Staccato dot in sources

Wedge suggested by the editors
..

This is one of only two places in the entire figurational section of the development (from bar 408) in which a dot was used as a staccato mark at the beginning of the bar, instead of a wedge. According to us, it is almost certainly an inaccuracy of notation. Cf. bar 438.
