Issues : Inaccuracies in A

b. 91

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

..

In Atut, a  is written only next to the minim in the top voice. This patent inaccuracy was corrected already in FE (→GE,EE). The cautionary  before c2 in this chord, present in all sources, is also noteworthy; it is unjustified in this context (omitted in the main text).

b. 96

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

..

In Atut (→FE), there is no  before e3, which is necessary, considering the notation with octave sign used in these sources. The mark was added both in EE and GE; in the latter, it was added despite the fact that the use of an octave sign was abandoned.

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.
