b. 187

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

Slur from b2 in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur from b1 in EE & GE3
..

A comparison with the slurs of similar figures of this section (from bar 179) proves that the slur of FE (→GE1→GE2) is inaccurate, which, actually, could have had its origin in the careless notation of [A]. In the main text, we include the corresponding correction introduced in EE and GE3.

e2 in FE (→EE) & GE3

e2 in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The version of GE1 (→GE2) – certainly erroneous, cf. bars 186, 541 and 545 as well as 182 and 537 – probably came into being as a result of an overzealous action of the reviser who added here cautionary naturals before the g2 grace notes. The mistake was corrected in GE3.

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

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED
..

Fontana's fingering is almost certainly identical with the indication in FED, stemming from a lesson with Chopin. In that copy, apart from the evident digit '2,' written twice in a way typical of FED, first by Chopin, then by Madame Dubois, there is a visible delicate line next to the a1 quaver. The mark could be interpreted as a digit '1,' yet it is uncertain, hence in the main text, we give only the '2' described above.
