b. 357-358

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

Slurs in FE

Slurs in GE1 (→GE2) & EE

Slurs in GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

The slurs of FE are clearly inaccurate and incomplete. Both the beginning of a new slur from the a1-a2 octave and the absence of a slur in the 1st half of bar 358 are contrary to the structure of motifs, emphasised by the beaming and instrumentation. Slurs over the ending of the motif in bar 358 were added already in GE and EE, yet the division of the slur in bar 357 was moved only in GE3. In the main text we correct the range of slurs in accordance with the motifs' shape. See also bars 359-360.

b. 357-359

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

..

At the beginning of bars 357 and 359, there are no sharps raising c1 to c1 in FE (→GE1→GE2). This patent inaccuracy – c is present in the previous octave in the R.H., while c1 is in the orchestral part (violin II) – was corrected in EE and GE3. Sharps were added also in FEH.
