b. 577

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

Small crotchet in FE

Acciaccatura in GE & EE

..

The grace note in the form of a small crotchet is most probably a mistake of FE – cf. bar 250. A similar conclusion was reached already by the revisers of GE and EE.

b. 577

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

g in FE (→GE,EE)

f, our alternative suggestion

..

Different sound of the 4th quaver than in all analogous bars (bar 226, 234, 250 and 585; cf. also bar 65, 73 and 89) could have been intended by Chopin, e.g. with regard to a slightly different shape of the accompaniment line in the next bar. However, since a mistake of the engraver cannot be excluded, we alternatively suggest a version that is analogous to the remaining bars. Mistakes consisting in adjusting figurations to a regular scheme, particularly when it appeared in similar figures (identical even quavers are present in bars 573-575), are psychologically justified and can be encountered in Chopin's pieces on a number of occasions – cf. e.g. bar 594 or 542-543.

b. 577-585

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

​​​​​​​at end of bar in FE (→GE,EE)

​​​​​​​on 5th quaver suggested by the editors

..

Taking into account the explicit harmonic change on the 3rd beat of bar 577, it seems highly unlikely that Chopin would have envisaged the entire bar performed with one pedal. Therefore, the ​​​​​​​ mark is most probably placed inaccurately – the scheme from the previous bars was mechanically repeated. The suggestion given in the main text aims at correcting the inaccuracy in order to avoid an unjustified mix of harmonies. There is a similar situation in bar 585.

b. 579-580

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

2 staccato dots in A (→FC)

No marks in FE (→EE)

4 staccato dots in GE

3 staccato dots, our alternative suggestion

..

In the main text we preserve the version of A (→FC), since there are no indications that Chopin was removing dots in FE or adding them in GE. However, it is uncertain whether the missing dot in b. 580 was intentional, since the bar opens a new line of text, which would often contribute to various inaccuracies of notation.

b. 581-588

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

8 short accents in EE, GE and probably in GC

Possible long accents in GC

7 long accents in FE

..

Accents in these bars may be interpreted as long (especially in FE, and probably in GC) or short (EE and GE, more probbale in GC). For the main text we adopt short accents because of the notation including rests at the end if each bar - if Chopin wanted to suggest longer sounds, he should have written crotchets. As and additional argument to support this view, we see that in FE in bars 613-616, repeating bars 581-584, there are short accents. In FE there is no accent in 588, which is obvious inaccuracy.
