b. 434

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

..

In FE (→EE1,GE1→GE2), the 1st quaver is not encompassed with the octave sign. This patent mistake was rectified in EE2 (→EE3) and GE3.

b. 434-435

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

No slur in FE (→EE1)

Slur in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

Slur suggested by the editors
..

The absence of the slur is rather to be considered an inaccuracy – cf. analogous bars 410-411 and 438-439 (a slur, although inaccurate, is present also in bars 414-415). However, one has to point out that in the discussed place the span of the position encompassed with the slur would be the greatest. A comparison with analogous bars most probably also served as the basis for revision in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

Slur from 1st semiquaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Dots & slur in GE3
..

Addition of staccato dots and shift of the beginning of the slur are arbitrary changes of GE3.

b. 434-435

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

..

In FE, there is no  raising d2 to d2 in bar 434 and d1 to d​​​​​​​1 in bar 435. The first of the accidentals is not formally necessary due to the erroneous notation of the sixth at the beginning of the bar, hence it was added only just in GE3 and EE2 (→EE3) along with correction of that mistake. The accidental in bar 435 was added straight away in GE and EE.

Fingering written into FED

Fingering based on FED & FEH, suggested by the editors

Fingering written into FEFo

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The concerted fingering of FEH and EE most probably corresponds to the Chopinesque one, which is confirmed by the entry in FED. See also the note to bar 410. In comparison, the differing fingering of FEFo stands out, written actually rather by the pupil than by Chopin. It does not exclude its possible authenticity, yet in the main text we take into account the remaining entries – FED and the three digits of FEH that may have been written by Chopin.
