b. 315-316

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

 in FE (→EE)

 in GE1 (→GE2)

 in GE3
..

In FE (→EE), the placement of the  marks suggests that the first one concerns the R.H., whereas the second one, the L.H. Since it does not seem likely that such differentiation could be intended by Chopin in this context, both marks are probably misplaced. In the main text, we move them to between the staves, since, according to us, they refer to both hands. Changes striving in that direction were gradually introduced in GE1 (→GE2) and GE3. See also the adjacent note.

Just like in the case of the  marks, assigning both  marks to the L.H. is most probably a result of lack of space between the staves of FE.

Fingering written into FED, bar 315

Fingering written into FEFo, bar 315-316

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

All indications denote almost certainly the same fingering. In the main text, we give the two ones written in FEFo, crucial in this context.

Long accent in GE1

No mark in GE2

It is difficult to say how accurately the notation of the manuscripts was reproduced in the editions. Both versions are, of course, possible. In the main text we give the notation of FE (→EE) due to the Chopinesque additions to the dynamic markings in this and the previous bar, introduced at the stage of proofreading of FE. The absence of the mark in GE2 is most probably an oversight.
