Articulation, Accents, Hairpins

b. 20-22

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

No marks in Atut (→FE→EE)

2 dots in GE

8 dots suggested by the editors
..

We consider the missing staccato dots in the part of the L.H. to be an inaccuracy of notation. In this context, in the face of the dots over the chords in the R.H., the use of such an articulation does not raise doubts; moreover, staccato marks for the L.H. are present in all similar places – bars 16-17 (added in a proofreading of FE), 501-502 and 505-507. In GE, dots were added only in bar 20.

b. 22

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

No marks in Atut

Staccato dots in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The missing staccato dots in Atut is most probably Chopin's oversight, which was corrected in FE (→GE,EE). Dots are present also in the respective bar of the recapitulation (bar 507).

b. 23

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

No mark in Atut & GE

Vertical accent in FE (→EE)
..

The missing accent in GE may be a proof that it was added by Chopin in the last phase of proofreading of FE.

b. 24

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

 in Atut

No sign in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The missing  is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE). However, it is also likely that the engraver was not certain how to reproduce this mark – written on the stave, it could turn out illegible in print.

Wedge in Atut

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)
..
