b. 543

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

No upper voice in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Upper voice in GE3
..

The missing marking of the top voice is obviously an inaccuracy of notation. In FE, the slur, placed high above that figure, suggests that stems and beam were planned here, but were overlooked by the engraver, perhaps due to the need to correct an erroneous note (one can see traces of removal of d3 at the beginning of the 3rd beat of the bar). The top voice was completed in GE3.

b. 543-544

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

Slur to e2 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur to crotchet in GE3
..

In the majority of the editions, the ending of the slur is inaccurate – in all remaining analogous figures, the slurs reach the crotchet that ends the move.

b. 546-547

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

Slurs to f1 in FE (→EE)

Different slurs in GE1 (→GE2)

Slurs to d1 in GE3
..

The slurs of FE (→EE), longer than in the vast majority of the remaining similar figures, are most probably inaccurate. Shortening the first of them in GE1 (→GE2) also seems to be an inaccuracy – the reviser would have certainly shortened both slurs, like it was performed in GE3. We introduce the latter also in the main text.
