b. 473-475

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

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

We include two 'ones' written in FEH in bars 473 and 475, perhaps by Chopin, in the main text. The remaining digits in this section, added most probably by the pupil, are discussed in a separate note.

b. 473

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

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

In FE, the accent in this bar is clearly shorter than in adjacent bars (there is a similar situation in bar 477). However, taking into account the fact that the note provided with that accent is a delay in the form of an appoggiatura, we suggest a long accent in the main text, more frequent in this context.

b. 473-475

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

in bar 475 in A & GE

2  signs in FC

No signs in FE (→EE)
..

The additional  mark at the end of b. 473 was written by Fontana, hence it is a mistake. This is how it was considered already in GE. Omission of the correct mark (in b. 475) in FE (→EE) is also a mistake.

b. 474-475

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

No slur in A

Single slur in GE1 (→FE→EE)

Double slur in GE2
..

The missing slurs in A is a typical oversight of Chopin, related to the transition into a new page. GE1 (→FE→EE) added only the bottom slur, which, taking into account the double slurs in the adjacent bars, seems to be a simplified correction (or revision).

b. 474-475

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt III

..

In A (→GE1→FE) there are no sharps next to the top notes of the octaves on the 2nd beat of each of these bars. The patent inaccuracy was rectified in EE and GE2.
