b. 546-547

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

..

In FE, the second slur in each of these bars runs from d1 to e1. This inaccuracy almost certainly results from lack of space – due to cramping seven great staves on a page, the space between staves in FE is very small. In GE1 (→GE2), the slur in bar 546 was left unchanged, whereas the one in bar 547 was moved to above the notes; like in the case of the first slur in these bars, the nature of the change (inaccuracy or revision, or perhaps an inaccurate revision) is uncertain. In EE and GE3, the slurs were placed higher, which we include also in the main text.

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

Slur to d3 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur to b3 in GE3
..

A comparison with two subsequent bars points to an inaccurate slur of the majority of the sources. In the main text, we include the correction of GE3.

​​​​​​​under 3rd semiquaver in FE (→EE)

​​​​​​​ under minim in GE
..

The shift of the ​​​​​​​ mark most probably resulted from lack of space in [A] ​​​​​​​under the stem of the minim in the L.H. In GE, the mark was placed in accordance with the pianistic sense, i.e. at the beginning of the bar.
