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

 under 2nd quaver in FE (→GE,EE)

 under E suggested by the editors
..

Placing the  mark only just under the 2nd quaver must be a result of misunderstanding of the notation of the handwritten base text – due to the lack of space, Chopin would often put pedalling marks next to low-located notes.

b. 156-158

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

..

In bars 156 and 158, in GE3, the repeated chords were written in an abbreviated manner as dotted minims with quaver tremolos. There is a similar situation in bar 160, 162 and 171-172.

Minim in FE

Dotted minim in GE & EE
..

A comparison with similar bars 160, 513 and 515 points to a very likely oversight of the dot extending the f minim in FE.

Slur to b2 in sources

Slur to c3 suggested by the editors
..

According to us, leaving the c3 crotchet outside of the slurs, even if it is justified by the notation of the autograph, has to be considered an inaccuracy; therefore, in the main text, we suggest a slur modelled after a similar motif in bars 155-156.
