b. 601-604

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Beginning of the slur in EE

GC (→GE)

No slur in FE

..

For the main text we adopt the GC (→GE) slur as most probably directly based on the autograph. It cannot be ruled out however that the earlier beginning of the slur in EE is the original Chopin's intention. No slur in FE is just one of numerous proofs of Chopin's less meticulous edit of the part in [A2] (cf. annotation in b. 373.

b. 601

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

Long accent in EE, contextual interpretation of GC (→GE) & FE

GC (→GE2), literal reading

FE, literal reading

No sign in GE1

..

Regradless of the differences in length and placement, the marks in all the sources (except GE1, where there is no mark) clearly fall on the minim on the second beat of the bar, which allows for seeing a long accent here - more or less precisely copied.

b. 601-602

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

Slur in FE (→EE)

No slur in GE

..

It is difficult to determine whether the missing slur results from an oversight of the engraver of FE or from a later proofreading of FE. Anyway, the slur is undoubtedly authentic.

Minims in FE

Different minims in GE

Dotted minims in EE

..

In FE (→EE), the minims are written in such a way that it is impossible to extend them with a dot. One can assume that the notation resulted from the minims having been added to an earlier notation of quavers only, perhaps still in [A]. Anyway, later proofreading of similar figures in exposition (cf. bars 257-263) and the notation of bars 605-606, 608, 610 and 613-618 prove that Chopin opted for a notation using one notehead, whereas the discussed bars remained uncorrected, probably due to inadvertence (it also applies to bars 607, 609 and 619-620). In the main text, we do not add a dot extending the minim in bar 602 due to the repeated bass note at the end of the bar (cf. bar 245 and 267-270). However, it is impossible to determine whether Chopin would have actually differentiated the notation of this bar with respect to the adjacent ones.
