b. 567-568

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

Slur in bar 567 in FE

2 slurs in EE & GE3

Slur in bars 567-568 suggested by the editors
..

The missing slur over bar 568 must be considered an inaccuracy. The slur added in EE and GE3 is a revision that is easiest to implement in print. In the main text, we suggest a two-bar-long slur modelled after the authentic slur in analogous bars 216-217.

b. 567

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

​​​​​​​under 3rd semiquaver in FE (→EE)

​​​​​​​ under minim in GE
..

The shift of the ​​​​​​​ mark most probably resulted from lack of space in [A] ​​​​​​​under the stem of the minim in the L.H. In GE, the mark was placed in accordance with the pianistic sense, i.e. at the beginning of the bar.

b. 568-572

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

..

In the main text, we omit the unjustified sharps before f2 and f in bar 568, the F1-F octave in bar 570, F in bar 571 and f​​​​​​​ in bar 572. The accidentals were omitted also in GE3.

b. 568

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

Arpeggio sign in A (→FC) & GE2 (→GE3)

No sign in FE (→EE) & GE1
..

The missing arpeggio must be a result of the engravers' inattention, particularly in FE, in which the last arpeggios in this section were printed in b. 560. The mark was added in GE2 (→GE3). See also the note below and in b. 570-572.

b. 568-572

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

3 arpeggio signs in GE2 (→GE3)

1 arpeggio sign, our alternative suggestion
..

According to us, the missing L.H. arpeggios in b. 568, 570 and 572 are not an accident, hence in the main text we preserve this version. However, since Chopin would sometimes overlook signs in this entire section (cf., e.g. b. 557 as well as 562 and 564), we suggest an arpeggio in b. 568 as an alternative version. The version of GE2 (→GE3) with arpeggios in all the discussed bars may be applied only in accordance with the R.H. arpeggios.
