b. 198

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

..

In EE, a cautionary  was added before f2, poorly justified in this context.

Two whole-bar slurs in FE (→GE1→GE2) must be inaccurate. The slur encompassing the rest in bar 199 is probably a remaining part of the original rhythm (without the rest inserted into the sequence of the semiquavers), whereas the division of the slur on the bar line may be, e.g. a result of the change of line in [A]. In EE, only the second of the slurs was reproduced, whereas in GE3, the first one was divided over the rest. In the main text, we give slurs modelled after the previous two bars, including the correction written in FED.

b. 199-201

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

No signs in FE (→GE,EE1)

Arpeggio signs in EE2 (→EE3)
..

Chopin did not always mark arpeggios of tenth and broader chord, perhaps considering it to be obvious. Arpeggio in analogous bar 554 confirms that the absence of the wavy lines in bars 199 and 201 is most probably simply an inaccuracy of notation. The marks were added in EE2 (→EE3).

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before e3.

No slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur suggested by the editors
..

The absence of the slur over the descending part of the phrase must be a mistake, even if committed by Chopin in [A]. In the main text, we add a slur modelled after the slur in bars 197-198, including the correction added in FED. The line underlining the significance of the rest is written in FED also in this place, which is an additional confirmation of the slurs we adopted. An identical addition was introduced in GE3.
