b. 590

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

..

In FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), there are sharps (cautionary?) before f​​​​​​​ at the beginning of bar 590 and 594. In GE3, the superfluous accidentals were omitted.

b. 591

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

c3-g3 in EE, FE & GE2

 c3-e3 in GC (→GE1) 
..

The c3-e3 third in GC (→GE1) is musically correct, however, c3-g3 in EE and FE seems more justifed pianistically and thus may suggest the copyist's error. And the unjustified  before the upper note of the dyed - before e3 - must certainly be  an error. It was rightly corrected in GE2, perhaps when compared with FE.

Long accent in EE & FE

Short accent in GC (→GE)
..

Accents in EE and FE are distictly longer than those of the following bar. In GC (→GE) there is no difference. In the main text we take into account differences in the notation of accents, as it naturally relates to the rhythmic values of notes.

In FE accents in bars 591-593 are placed below the staff. This is rather an example of a common engraving manner that placed accents, articulation signs, etc. on the side of the note heads.

b. 592-593

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

No tie in FE (→EE) & GE3

Tie to d in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The slur in GE1 (→GE2) is probably a result of a characteristic mistake consisting in placing a mark in the so-called 'mirror image;' in this case, on the wrong side of the note – cf. e.g. the Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21, 3rd mov., bars 172-173. The erroneous mark was removed in GE3.
