b. 659

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

..

In FE, the visible traces of corrections performed in print prove that this bar underwent a serious, probably multiple-stage, proofreading. However, we did not manage to decipher the original text, although some of the removed elements are quite clearly visible. The erroneous version of GE –  – probably corresponds to the penultimate stage of the changes introduced in FE. The final text is unquestionable – the version of FE is compliant with the chord in the orchestral part and must correspond to Chopin's intention, since it was proofread a few times. We consider the version resulting from the removal of the erroneous  from before the 1st chord, generally compliant with the text of the remaining sources, to be the edited text of GE1 (→GE2). GE3 introduced the same change; it also removed the superfluous ​​​​​​​ from before b1. None of GE contain cautionary naturals before a and a1, which are present in FE (→EE).

b. 659-660

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No marks in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE)

Short accents in GE2 (→GE3)

Long accents suggested by the editors
..

Just like in b. 208-209, in the main text we add long accents after b. 200-201. The addition – with the use of short accents – was also introduced in GE2 (→GE3).

b. 660

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

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

In the main text, we give a fingering that was probably written by Chopin in FEH, essentially compliant with the Chopinesque entry in FED. In this situation, the authenticity of a different fingering, given by Fontana in EE, seems to be out of the question.

b. 662-663

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

c2 repeated in A (→FC→GE1)

c2 tied in FE (→EE) & GE2 (→GE3)
..

The tie of c2, probably overlooked in A (→FC→GE1) in b. 211-212 (the discussed bars are a repetition thereof), was added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE (→EE) as well as – probably by analogy with b. 79-80 – in GE2 (→GE3).
