b. 433

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

L.H. slur in FE (→GE1→GE2)

2 slurs in EE

Dots & slurs in GE3

2 slurs suggested by the editors
..

The slur over the semiquaver sequence is present in FE (→GE1→GE2) only in the L.H. In EE, an analogous slur was added for the R.H., which we consider a right revision. The change of markings in GE3 is arbitrary.

b. 434

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

..

In FE (→EE1,GE1→GE2), the 1st quaver is not encompassed with the octave sign. This patent mistake was rectified in EE2 (→EE3) and GE3.

b. 434-435

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

No slur in FE (→EE1)

Slur in GE & EE2 (→EE3)

Slur suggested by the editors
..

The absence of the slur is rather to be considered an inaccuracy – cf. analogous bars 410-411 and 438-439 (a slur, although inaccurate, is present also in bars 414-415). However, one has to point out that in the discussed place the span of the position encompassed with the slur would be the greatest. A comparison with analogous bars most probably also served as the basis for revision in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

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

Slur from 1st semiquaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Dots & slur in GE3
..

Addition of staccato dots and shift of the beginning of the slur are arbitrary changes of GE3.

b. 434-435

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

..

In FE, there is no  raising d2 to d2 in bar 434 and d1 to d​​​​​​​1 in bar 435. The first of the accidentals is not formally necessary due to the erroneous notation of the sixth at the beginning of the bar, hence it was added only just in GE3 and EE2 (→EE3) along with correction of that mistake. The accidental in bar 435 was added straight away in GE and EE.
