b. 595-596

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

Slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slurs in GE3
..

The overlapping slurs of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) may be interpreted literally; however, according to us, it is highly likely that Chopin wanted to have consecutive slurs like it was interpreted in GE3. See also the note to bars 597-599.

b. 596

composition: Op. 39, Scherzo in C♯ minor

No mark in EE

 in GC (literal reading)

Long accent in GC (contextual interpretation) & FE

 in GE
..

The meaning of the mark in GC in not obvious. At the first glance we have a full bar hairpin , which was interpreted as such by the engraver or revisor of GE and notated above the RH part as diminuendo must have seemed more reeasonable. However, the GC notation implies clearly that the mark does not apply solely to LH but the A1-A octave in particular, which also allows it to be seen as a long accent. FE confirms such interpretetation, where the ocatve is marked with a typical long accent.
