b. 284-286

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

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

The entries in FEH, probably performed by the pupil's hand, develop the basic fingering idea contained already in bar 283 – the use of the fingers 2 and 1 on the last two semiquavers of each bar.

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

No slur in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur in EE & GE3
..

The missing slur in FE (→GE1→GE2) must be an oversight of the engraver (or of Chopin in [A]) – cf. all 7 similar bars.

 in FE

Shifted  in GE

Longer  in EE
..

Since the obvious destination of the  hairpin is the  in the next bar, in the main text, we extend the mark present in FE correspondingly. An identical retouch was introduced already in EE, whereas in GE, the mark was moved (without extending it), so that it reaches the end of the bar.

b. 286

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

 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Longer  in GE3
..

Differently than in the previous bar, the extension of the  hairpin is not justified here, since the destination of the crescendo was not explicitly indicated – in bar 287, there is no . After all, a shorter mark does not determine the performance manner – one can consider it a suggestion that the climax should occur slightly earlier to prepare the upcoming  to a certain extent; however, one can also consider sempre cresc. to be valid until the end of the bar, irrespective of the range of the  mark.

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

 on 2nd quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

 on 1st quaver in GE3
..

The  in FE (→EE) clearly applies to the 2nd quaver of the bar. In GE1 (→GE2), it was reproduced inaccurately, so in GE3, the indication was erroneously placed at the beginning of the bar.
