b. 186-190

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

..

In the sources, a cautionary  was repeated before the 2nd grace note in bar 186, which, according to us, is not necessary. In bar 190 in FE (→EE), there are no naturals before any of the grace notes, which the engraver of GE considered to be an inaccuracy requiring an intervention. In the main text, we suggest naturals before the first grace note in each of these bars.

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.

..

In FE, there is no accidental before the penultimate semiquaver. In this situation, the absence of a  is a patent mistake, corrected both in GE and EE.

There is no indication that the version of GE could be possibly authentic; it is most probably a typical example of the Terzverschreibung error.

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