b. 275

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

No mark in sources

Staccato dot suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we add a staccato dot also for the chord in the L.H. Such an articulation is unquestionable; in similar contexts, Chopin would often consider marks over the R.H. to be valid also in the L.H.

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FEH
..

The authenticity of the discrepant indications of EE and FEH is not confirmed.

b. 277-278

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

Slur to e3 in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur to c4 suggested by the editors
..

According to us, leaving c4 without articulation markings is an inaccuracy, even if it corresponds to the notation of [A]. In the main text, we suggest extending the slur from the previous bar, in accordance with the rhythmic shape of the figuration.

b. 278-279

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

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

The digits in FEH are not written by Chopin's hand, hence it is uncertain whether they come from a lesson with Chopin.

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

..

In both bars, FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) feature a cautionary (?)  before d3. The superfluous marks were removed only in GE3.
