b. 325

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

..

In FE (→EE1), there is no  restoring a2 in the last pair of semiquavers. This patent inadvertence was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3). In the same editions, a cautionary  before the 5th semiquaver a1 was also added, which we include in the main text, as well as a  before c3, which does not seem to be necessary. In turn, we preserve the formally unnecessary  before e2 in the 5th pair of semiquavers, present in all editions.

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

..

In FE, the 8th and 10th semiquavers in the R.H. are a b2. The harmonic and pianistic context point to patent mistakes, which were corrected in EE and GE3. In turn, in GE1 (→GE2), the 8th semiquaver was changed to a2, yet a  before the 10th note was not added. The absence of corrections in the pupils' copies proves that the pupils most probably performed the correct text, perhaps without checking thoroughly the notation.

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before f3 and naturals before a3 and b1 at the end of the bar. The first two marks were added already in GE and EE. On the other hand, we omit the cautionary  before g3, present in the sources.

..

In the main text, we add cautionary naturals before a2 and b1 (the last semiquaver) and omit the  before g3 present in the sources. The first of the naturals was added already in GE and EE2 (→EE3), whereas the second – in EE and GE3. Moreover, both GE and EE include a cautionary  before c4.

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

..

In FE, there is no accidental before the 8th semiquaver in the R.H., which requires it to be interpreted as e3. This kind of distortion of a regular, virtuoso sequence is unimaginable. Therefore, the reviser of GE was certainly right to add a  before this note. However, EE did not correct this oversight, so typical of Chopin.
