Rhythm

b. 81-82

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

B repeated in Atut (→FE→GE)

B tied in EE
..

The tie of B, added in EE by Fontana, is most probably inauthentic. A comparison with analogous bars in the solo part, bars 238-239 and 242-243, suggests, however, a possibility that the tie could have been overlooked by Chopin.

b. 88-89

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

b tied in Atut (→FE)

b repeated in GE & EE
..

The little tie sustaining b is so poorly visible in FE that it was overlooked both in GE and EE.

Crotchet B in Atut

Quaver in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The missing extension of the 5th quaver is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE).

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

..

In Atut, the repeated quavers in the L.H. are written in an abbreviated manner as a dotted minim with tremolo.

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

Minim d1 in Atut (literal reading→FE→GE,EE)

Dotted minim d​1 in Atut, contextual interpretation
..

In Atut, the rhythmic value of the d1 minim is unclear – there is no stem next to it, hence it seems to be a semibreve. It can be a mere deficiency, frequent in Chopin's autographs; however, it cannot be excluded that Chopin planned here a dotted minim, like it is in the orchestra (bassoon I) and in similar bars 122 and 682.
