b. 211-212

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

No sign in FE (→GE,EE)

[] suggested by the editors
..

Chopin did not specify the moment of pedal release; he probably meant its gradual release, the so-called diminuendo pedal. Such notation is to be found on a number of occasions in his works, cf. e.g. the Etude in D major, op. 25, no. 8, bar 27 or the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 1st mov., bars 299-300. In the main text, we suggest a mark more or less in the place where mixing subsequent chords dominates the echo of the bass B1-B octave.

b. 211-212

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

6  in FE (→GE,EE)

6 long accents suggested by the editors
..

Six consecutive  signs visible in FE (→GE,EE) can denote only long accents in this context. In the group of the first pieces published by Chopin in Paris, long accents, whose meaning the engravers generally did not understand, would be often deformed – cf. e.g. the Etude in A minor, op. 10, no. 2, bar 12 (a similar context to the one of the discussed place of the Concerto is to be found in the Etude in C major, op. 10, no. 1, bars 69-70).
