b. 360

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

Long accent in A (→GE1→FE)
..

The only long accent in this fragment correctly reproduced in GE1 (→FE) was changed to a short one in EE and GE2. The very idea of unifying the notation of accents in all analogous bars is accurate – all signs in A are the same – yet the accents in A are clearly long, which the reviser of EE could not know, whereas the reviser of GE2 did not consider it to be significant.

b. 360

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

New slur in FE (literal reading→EE)

2 slurs in FE, contextual interpretation

Continued slur in GE
..

In FE, the slur begins on the first note, despite the fact that in the previous bar, ending the previous page, there is a slur started on the last quaver. Since the correctness of that slur does not raise doubts – after 7 quavers marked staccato, the last one was provided with a slur and not a dot – we assume that it is the beginning of the bar under discussion that is inaccurate. Taking into account that overlapping slurs occur quite frequently in the Rondo, e.g. in a similar situation in bars 219-220, we adopt such a solution as the text of FE. The amendment in GE may be regarded as an alternative version. The version in EE, which considered the slur in bar 359 to be erroneous and omitted it, is almost certainly arbitrary.

b. 360-368

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

after 4th quaver in FE (→EE)

on 4th quaver in GE
..

In GE,  is under the 4th quaver. It is an inaccuracy resulting from an inept layout of text – the last quaver is placed next to the bar line. There is a similar situation in bar 364 and 368 although in the latter the inaccurate placing of the marking cannot be explained by the layout. See also bars 384-385.

b. 360

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

..

The notation of accidentals in FE is inaccurate – naturals are missing before the first d1 and before d3 and g2 in the last triplet, whereas the superfluous ​​​​​​​ was placed before b1 in the 2nd half of the bar. In the remaining editions, all necessary accidentals were added, while EE also removed the superfluous ones.
