The version of GE1 is certainly erroneous and it was corrected both in FE (→EE) and in GE2. In the main text we place a cautionary  before d2 and f1. The signs were added also in GE2.

Slur in bar 424 in sources

Slur to bar 425 suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the slur of FE (→GE,EE) is inaccurate, which is proved by the slur in analogous bars 428-429 (most probably proofread by Chopin) as well as by the slurs in the L.H. in both places. The absence of slurs in further part of bar 425 is probably intentional – in analogous bar 429, one can see traces of removal of the slur over the 2nd and 3rd groups of semiquavers in FE.

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

Slur to bar 427 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur in bar 426 in GE3
..

A shorter slur is an inaccuracy of GE3. Chopin proofread this slur in FE – the traces of corrections show that the original slur would begin on the 3rd beat of bar 426 – and did not change the moment of its ending.

b in FE (→EE) & GE3

d1 in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The version of GE1 (→GE2), distorting the sequence of bass (implemented by cellos and double basses), must be erroneous. However, the traces of proofreading visible in FE prove that it was the engraver of this edition that committed a mistake, yet in GE1 the note was revised by adding an admittedly overlooked ​​​​​​​, while in FE (→EE) it was moved to the right pitch. The correct version was introduced also in GE3.
