b. 437

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

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

Slur from 3rd semiquaver in GE3
..

The staccato dots were arbitrarily added by the reviser of GE3, whereas the slur was repeated after the previous bar. In the main text, we keep the slur of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), which we consider to be correct.

b. 437-438

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

Slur from a in FE (→EE) & GE3

Slur from f1 in GE1 (→GE2)
..

The earlier beginning of the slur in GE1 (→GE2) is most probably an inaccuracy, corrected in GE3.

Dots & slur in GE3

Slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest beginning the slur earlier than in the sources due to the slur in the L.H. and slurs in analogous bars 412-413. The earlier ending of the slur in GE1 (→GE2) is most probably inaccurate, whereas the staccato dots added in GE3 are an arbitrary revision.

..

In FE, there is no  raising d2 to d​​​​​​​2 before the 1st semiquaver. This patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 437-438

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

No marks in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Wedges in EE

R.H. wedge in GE3
..

In this context, the missing staccato marks must be considered an inadvertence of Chopin or the engraver of FE, which was noticed already in EE and partially – only in the R.H. – also in GE3.
