b. 572

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

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding a slur combining the upbeat with the beginning of the next bar – the musical connection of that quaver with the next phrase is unquestionable, yet the a tempo indication appearing only just in bar 573 may distort the correct phrasing if interpreted literally. Both the missing slur and placement of a tempo may actually be a random inaccuracy related to the transition to a new page in FE.

The  mark, overlooked in FE, was added in the remaining editions, although its absence does not have to be considered a mistake – cf. e.g. the Waltz in C​​​​​​​ Minor, Op. 64 No. 2, bar 15. In the main text, we suggest adding the mark in accordance with the possible phrasing, hence before the last quaver, which already begins the next musical thought.

Small crotchet in FE

Acciaccatura in GE & EE
..

The grace note in the form of a small crotchet is most probably a mistake of FE – cf. bar 250. A similar conclusion was reached already by the revisers of GE and EE.
