In Atut, one can see traces of corrections (erasures), as a result of which some places were spilled with ink, so that it is unclear what is actually written on the top stave. However, since the clearly visible elements perfectly correspond to the orchestral part of FEorch (→GEorch), it is this version that we adopt as the text of Atut. In turn, the text of the editions, clearly different, does not bear traces of corrections in print in FE, which, however, does not mean that there were none – adding an element, e.g. a note, did not have to leave any trace. According to us, the following scenario is likely, among other things – the engraver of FE overlooked the dotted minim on the bottom stave, which was corrected by Chopin, who added an crotchet on the 3rd beat of the bar. Both source versions can be considered intended by Chopin. Then again, taking into account the probably most reliable elements of both versions – playing on the 1st and 3rd beats of the bar, in the main text we suggest a version including both.

b. 149

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

..

In FE (→GE1), the last 8 notes are written as 2 groups of semiquavers. The division into groups suggests that Chopin meant a strict and regular division, so the notes should be demisemiquavers. A respective change was introduced in EE and GE2 (→GE3). Additional beams were added also in FEJ, although it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of such a non-characteristic entry.
