b. 530

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

c4 repeated in FE

c4 tied in GE, EE, FED & FEH
..

The absence of the tie of c4 must be a mistake (probably of the engraver of FE, although Chopin's oversight also cannot be excluded), which is proved by:

  • a tie in analogous bar 175;
  • ties of g3 and e3 in the next two motifs, being a slightly modified repetition of the first one;
  • ties added in two pupil's copies bearing clear traces of this movement of the Concerto having been developed during lessons with Chopin.

The tie was added both in GE and EE.

b. 530-531

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

g3 tied in FE (→EE) & GE3
..

The missing tie of g3 is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE1 (→GE2). The tie was added in GE3.

b. 531

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

 

e1 in GC (→GE)
..

In GC (→GE) the first quaver is e1. Consistent versions of EE and FE as well as the further shape of the passage indicate high probability of the copyist's error.

b. 531-536

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

3-note slurs in A (→FC→GE)

4-note slurs in FE (→EE)
..

In b. 531 and 535 in the main text we give the unequivocal whole-bar slurs of A (→FC→GE). However, the longer slurs of FE (→EE) are probably a result of Chopin's proofreading: there is no visible reason for which the engraver would have complicated his work with asymmetrical slurs. Therefore, they can be considered an equivalent variant.

b. 532-539

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

..

In the LH part in GC the lack base clefs in bars 533 and 539. These obvious errors were corrected in GE. In EE one of the clefs was erroneously placed at the end of b. 532 instead of b. 533. In FE there is no clef nevessary for bars 533, 537 and 539.
