b. 567-568

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

Slur in bar 567 in FE

2 slurs in EE & GE3

Slur in bars 567-568 suggested by the editors
..

The missing slur over bar 568 must be considered an inaccuracy. The slur added in EE and GE3 is a revision that is easiest to implement in print. In the main text, we suggest a two-bar-long slur modelled after the authentic slur in analogous bars 216-217.

b. 567

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

​​​​​​​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.

b. 568-572

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

..

In the main text, we omit the unjustified sharps before f2 and f in bar 568, the F1-F octave in bar 570, F in bar 571 and f​​​​​​​ in bar 572. The accidentals were omitted also in GE3.

b. 569

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

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The additional fingering in EE only repeats the scheme indicated by Chopin in the 1st half of the bar.

b. 569

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

 on 3rd beat in FE (→EE)

​​​​​​​ at end of bar i EE1
..

In this bar, there is no musical reason to release pedal earlier than in the previous bars. Therefore, the notation of FE (→EE) is inaccurate, most probably due to lack of space under the octave in bar 570 in [A], which forced the placement of the  mark still at the end of bar 569 and, consequently, a respective shift of the  asterisk. In GE1 (→GE2), the notation is less misleading – the  mark was placed directly before ​​​​​​​.
