b. 427

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

..

On the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar, there are no accidentals in the R.H. in FE; the  raising G to G​​​​​​​ in the L.H. is also missing. In GE1 (→GE2) and EE, a mark was added in the L.H., whereas in the R.H. sharps were added only in the 2nd group of semiquavers, which was most probably considered sufficient due to the notation of that group with the use of an octave sign, hence at the same pitch as the 3rd group.

..

In FE, there are no sharps before the 6th semiquaver in the L.H. (c​​​​​​​2) and the middle semiquavers on the 3rd beat of the bar in the R.H. (c3 and d3). All those patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE, whereas in EE it was only the mark in the L.H. that was added.

b. 430

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

..

In FE, there are no accidentals on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar in the L.H. In the layout adopted by the majority of the editions, i.e. the first two semiquavers of the R.H. on the bottom stave, both sharps on the 3rd beat of the bar are to be considered necessary. The accidentals were added in GE1 (→GE2); moreover, a  was added before c​​​​​​​1 at the end of the 2nd group of semiquavers. In EE, ​​​​a  was added before the last notes of the 2nd and 3rd groups. The layout of GE3 corresponds to the one adopted in our system; that edition contains all necessary sharps.

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

..

In FE, there are no accidentals on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar, which is a patent inaccuracy. In the remaining editions, a part of the necessary sharps was added; however, none of the editions employed a consistent rule of validity of accidentals for notes appearing in various octaves. In GE1 (→GE2), sharps were added before the 5th, 9th, 10th and 12th semiquavers, which was further developed in GE3 – the accidentals before the 5th and 9th semiquavers were removed and added before the 6th and 8th ones. In EE, 5 sharps were added, omitting only the one before the 6th semiquaver.
