b. 477-478

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

1 slur suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the slurs of the sources unnecessarily complicate the notation in this place (cf. bars 473-474 and 475-476); moreover, their authenticity is uncertain – the slur in bar 477 could have been, e.g. prolonged in [A], which the engraver of FE misinterpreted as an addition of another slur. One can also imagine that the second slur was added in the proofreading of FE as a simplified form of its prolongation. Taking the above into account, we give one slur over the entire passage in the main text.

b. 477

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

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

Just like in bar 473, we suggest a long accent in the main text, assuming an inaccurate reproduction of the Chopinesque mark in [A].

b. 477

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

The  raising a3 to a3, overlooked in A (→FE), was added in FC (→GE) and EE. The mark was also added in FESf.
